(Location cited as NO 046 176). Forteviot Station. Opened 1848 by the Scottish Central Rly. Formerly a 2-platform through station. The down platform is a 1-storey and attic block, on an L-plan, incorporating a dwelling-house, with an awning supported on wooden columns in the angle of the L. The platform edges have been removed.
J R Hume 1977.
The station house survives on the N side of the tracks, but the platforms have been removed. The house has been converted to domestic use and a probable extension added on the SW; the frontage is to the NE.

This intermediate station on the Stirling-Perth portion of the Larbert-Perth-Kinnaber Junction (main) line of the former Caledonian Rly was opened (by the Scottish Central Rly) on 22 or 23 May 1848. It closed to regular passenger traffic on 11 June 1956 but the line itself remains in regular use by passenger traffic.
