Former Caledonian Railway station building situated on a road bridge and at road level. Constructed of wood with a pitched slated roof, entrances at N and S ends. Originally there were stairs down to the up and down platforms, both now removed.
The building was in use as a small workshop, but the doors are now boarded up and slates are missing from the roof.
The road bridge, built to accommodate four tracks throught wo spans, is supported on cast iron columns and lattice girders. The former bases for the top of the stairs down to the platforms are supported on thin cast iron columns on brick piers with a fluted lower section and afoliated capitols. The E parapet is in wood.
Station on the Caledonian Railway line from Edinburgh Princes Street Station to Leith (North) closed to passengers in 1962.
