The station opened in May 1848 by the Aberdeen Railway. To the west of the southbound platform was the signal box. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 11 June 1956.[1] The signal box closed in 1965.[2] The main building is now a private house. The stone under bridge was removed although remnants can be seen on either side of the road.
