Sprouston Railway Station was opened in 1849, and was closed to passenger traffic in 1955, with the entire line being closed nine years later.
The station building is constructed of stone, with a slated roof. It is mainly single-storeyed, with only the central part having an upper floor.
This is the only surviving Scottish station to have been built by an English company, as the York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway, which later became the North British Railway, constructed it.
