The station opened in October 1844 by the Wilsontown, Morningside and Coltness Railway. It closed in 1848 when the Caledonian Railway opened.[1] It reopened on 19 September 1864. To the north was the goods yard and further north was a turntable. At the east end was a signal box. There was a line north east which served Coltness Iron Works. The station closed on 1 May 1930.[2] The signal box closed in 1940. Only a few bricks and mounds of the platform remains.[3]
