History
The station was built by the Kyle of Lochalsh Extension (Highland Railway) between Stromeferry and Kyle of Lochalsh, opening on 2 November 1897.
The station building was built by the Highland Railway, and designed by engineer Murdoch Paterson. It was B-listed by Historic Scotland in 1986. A camping coach was positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1956 to 1964, for the last two years a Pullman camping coach was used.
The building was completely renovated during 2009/2010 and is now a privately owned self-catering holiday cottage.

The only facilities at the station are a car park, a help point, a bench and bike racks. The station has step-free access. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.
