Saltoun railway station served the villages of East Saltoun and West Saltoun in East Lothian, Scotland, from 1901 to 1933 on the Macmerry Branch.
History[]
The station was opened on 14 October 1901 by the North British Railway. By the level crossing was the station building and to the west was the goods yard, which had two sidings and a loading bank. The yard carried whisky bottles from the nearby Glenkinchie distillery. It also had a signal box from 1901 to 1956. The station closed on 3 April 1933.[1] The station building and the platforms survive today, as well as the railway cottage, which is in use as a house.[2]
