This intermediate station on the Inverkeithing-Kirkcaldy section of the Edinburgh-Aberdeen (main) line of the (former) North British Rly was opened on 2 June 1890 and remains in regular passenger use by trains using the 'Fife Circle' route. The station closed to goods traffic in May 1964, and is noted for its floral display.

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.
