Accessing Scotland's Past Project

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.

The surviving building of Greenlaw Railway station is situated on the W side of a remaining section of Wester Row. The building is set within a post railway period garden which straddles the former trackbed and in the immediate surrounding area are twolarge sheds connected with a car repair yard.

Immediately to the E a new road now bypasses the building and the road overbridge, which also survives.

Bult mainly of brick with a slated roof.

Now a private residence.
