Nothing survives in a shallow cutting of Newtongrange Station except two metal rail posts on the down (W) side. These may have supported a sign.

The station was built in the early 20th century, not as part of the Edinburgh to Hawick branch railway.

Opened in 1908 after the expansion of the surrounding collieries, particularly the Lady Victoria and closed in 1969.

Visited by RCAHMS (DE), July 2006; R J V Butt 1995
