Opened in c.1847 for the Edinburgh and Northern Railway, which connected Burntisland with Perth and Dundee, the line dividing just to the north of the station at Ladybank Junction. Components of the station include rubble-built station offices and a house on its W side, adjacent to the north-bound platform. This is connected by an underpass to the south-bound platform, which has a rectangular block of red brick-built offices with a gabled slate roof and a wooden awning above the platform. Other elements of the station include ancillary buildings and a shed at the north end of the north-bound platform. In additon, there is a separate goods station situated to the north, which includes a handcrane manufactured by James Todd and Son of Edinburgh in c.1870 which was designated in 2001 by the Railway Heritage Committee.
The station was photographically recorded by RCAHMS in 2003 because of a lack of existing record material. At the time, it was still serviced by local ScotRail trains running between Dundee and Edinburgh, and by services from Edinburgh to Perth via Newburgh.
