Background

History

The station opened on 1 April 1898 as the terminus of the Aberlady, Gullane and North Berwick Railway when it began operating the line between here and Aberlady junction (on the North British Railway between and ). The line was intended to reach and thereby provide a route to North Berwick, but this section was never constructed and Gullane remained as the terminus. The line and station were absorbed by the North British Railway on 6 August 1900. The Scottish Region continued this use of the buildings, sometimes marketed as Camping Cottages in the 1950s and up to the line closing in 1964. The station was also the location of a camping coach from 1956 to 1964. |lightcol= }}
