History

Opened by the Dundee, Perth and Aberdeen Junction Railway, and absorbed into the Caledonian Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Railways Board.

The site today

Today some of the platforms remain and the site is waterlogged.
