History
The 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.
A station master's house was provided. In 1908 the station is shown as having a passing loop, a single platform, two sidings, a weighing machine, a ticket office and waiting room, all sitting within a cutting.
