History

Opened on 1 April 1886, the station comprised a single platform on the west side of the line.[1] There were also three sidings on the same side.[2]

A camping coach was positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1961 to 1963.[3]

This station was officially closed on 1 November 1965, although following the Glen Ogle landslide on 27 September 1965, the service was suspended and replaced by buses until the official closure.[1][4]
