Opened by the Alyth Railway on 12 August 1861[1] and absorbed into the Caledonian Railway, it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the grouping of 1923. Passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways upon nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by British Railways on 2 July 1951.[1]
