History
Opened by the Dundee and Newtyle 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 Transport Commission.
The site today
The site today has been redeveloped as housing, with the address Hillview Terrace. The former railway line can be seen on aerial views of the site.
