The station opened on 2 July 1901 by the Lauder Light Railway. It was situated on the south side of Station Road. On the down platform was the station building. There was no goods shed in the goods yard; a grounded train carriage was used to store goods instead. A ground frame was also here. A siding served a cattle dock behind the down platform. A goods shed was built eventually but after the station closed to passengers on 12 September 1932.[1] It still remained open to goods traffic. In March 1954, the station was downgraded to a public delivery siding. It closed to goods on 1 October 1958.[2]
