Opened by the North British Railway on 2 June 1890, and connected to the new Forth Bridge Railway. Its components include a single-storeyed and attic symmetrical main office building with gabled end bays, all built from snecked rubble with rock-faced margins. Features include a wood-panelled awning protecting the south-bound platform, and a slate roof with crenelated ridge slates. Other surviving elements include a signal box at the NE end of the station on the S platform, a cast-iron and steel footbridge, and a rectangular rubble-built shelter on the N platform, with a gabled slate roof. Photographed by RCAHMS in 2003 because of its excellent condition, and a lack of existing record material. At the time of survey, the station was still in use, and was serviced by ScotRail.
