The station opened on 1 March 1866 by the North British Railway. To the east was the goods yard and to the southwest was the signal box, which opened in 1894. To the south were sidings that served Kirkliston Distillery. The station closed on 22 September 1930[1] but it remained open for goods. The signal box closed in 1933 and was reduced to a ground frame. Nothing remains.[2]
