Greenlaw, Wester Row, Greenlaw Railway Station

Greenlaw Railway Station was closed in 1948, but the station building still stands, with the disused platform landscaped as a garden.

Built to serve the Reston-St Boswells line which was opened in 1849, the two-storeyed red sandstone building is a typical example of station architecture in this region.
