Description

This was a two platform station with a loop on a single track line. The main station building was on the eastbound platform.

The goods yard was on the north side of the station, approached from the east. To the north (over the A98) is Glenglassaugh Distillery. The yard was very much associated with the distillery with coal in and whisky out.

The signal box was on the westbound platform.

The loop was removed between 1896 and 1898 and removed again in 1921. The box also closed in 1921, replaced with a ground frame for the goods yard.

The station closed to passengers in 1952. The line closed in 1968.

There is, and was, no town here. Glassaugh House is to the south and Mains of Glassaugh off to the west.

The platforms and loading banks remain. The station buildings are lost but the station cottage remains in use as a house.
