History

The station was opened as part of the Wick and Lybster Railway on 1 July 1903.[1]

The station had a loop, a goods yard with several sidings and a 1½ ton crane to the south of the passenger facilities and a turntable accessed from the goods yard.[2][3]

The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1937 to 1938.[4]

As with the other stations on the line, the station was closed from 3 April 1944.[1]
