Description

This was a single platform station built for Marchmont House and its estate. The mansion was to the north west of the station, nearly a mile away.

The passenger station and goods station were separated by a level crossing, the passenger station building to the east with a platform on the north side of the line and single storey stone built building.

The goods yard had a loop on the north side of the line, serving a loading bank, and a siding to the north, approached from the west.

The station was closed in 1948 when severe floods washed away the Langton Burn Bridge (to the east) and damaged the Blackadder Water Bridge (to the west) resulting in the closure of the line between Greenlaw and Duns (both excluded). Greenlaw never re-opened to passengers but the Duns passenger service continued until 1951. The Greenlaw branch closed in 1965 and Duns in 1966.

The passenger platform, station building (now a house) and loading bank all remain.
