It served a rural area in Wigtownshire and was named after the nearby farm. Although the station closed as far back as 1885 the line was not closed to passenger services until 1950, and to goods in 1964. HistoryThe Portpatrick and Wigtownshire Joint Railway was formed from the amalgamation of two railway companies: The Portpatrick Railway and the Wigtownshire Railway, which got into financial difficulties; they merged and were taken over.[2] The station stood close to a controlled level crossing and was reached by a short lane[3] which Ordnance Survey maps show had a crossing keeper's hut. After the station was closed an unusual siding remained for some years with centrally positioned points. Signals controlling the crossing may have been housed within the small building shown on the map.[4] By 1907 the signals and siding had been removed.[5] Other stations
