Background
History
The station opened on 7 April 1856 by the Perth and Dunkeld Railway. It closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 3 May 1965. The station signal box, built in 1898 for the Highland Railway, was relocated from Inverness to Murthly in 1919. It is considered at high risk due to its structural deterioration.
