Opened in 1862 by the Portpatrick Railway on what became the Portpatrick & Wigtownshire Joint Railway from Castle Douglas to Portpatrick, this station closed to passengers in 1966 and to freight in 2009. View south at the former forecourt. The station building would have been directly in front of us and behind it, the single curving platform was probably still extant when this image was taken, but the site was derelict.
