(Location cited as NT 954 612). Burnmouth Station, opened 1846 by the North British Rly. Probably the original station building for this former two-platform through station is a single-storey coursed-rubble building on a T plan, on the down side; this is now a dwelling-house.
Nearby is a skew overbridge (NT96SE 14.01) with dressed stone segmental arch and rubble spandrels and wing walls.

This intermediate station on the Edinburgh - Berwick-on-Tweed main line of the (former) North British Rly (the 'East coast main line') was opened in 1849 and closed to regular passenger traffic on 5 February 1962. The line itself remains in regular use by passenger traffic.
