History
The station opened on 25 January 1909 by the Newburgh and North Fife Railway.[1][2]
The goods yard was to the north.[3] The signal box closed in 1928 and was replaced with a ground frame which allowed access to the goods yard. The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939.[4] At least part of the station buildings were used to provide camping apartment accommodation for holidaymakers from sometime in the 1950s until the early 1960s, there was accommodation for six people.[5]
The line and station closed to passengers on 12 February 1951.[1][6] The line closed to goods traffic on 5 October 1964.[7]
