Glasgow and South Western Railway station situated on the main line to Ayr, SW of Thorn Brae in Johnstone.
Constructed in red sandstone with a main station house and extension to the SW on the up platform. The station house is two storey with a slated roof. At first and second floor level are string courses of consoles. To the SW of the station house is a single storey extension with a rounded turret like structure with windows at the SW end.
The station canopy in glass has been removed as has the up side waiting room which has been replaced with a modern glazed shelter. The up side building was originally a single storey wooden structure with canopy.
The station was opened in 1840 as Johnstone High and renamed Johnstone in 1962 after closure of Johnstone North station.
