Opened in 1870, the station was sited two miles NNE of Strathpeffer between Dingwall and Garve.

On 25 September 1897 a mixed passenger and goods train from Dingwall to Strome Ferry was approaching the summit of the line at Raven's Rock, just west of Achterneed station, when the coupling broke between the 5th and 6th vehicles and the 10 rear vehicles of the train ran backwards for a distance of 6 miles, coming to a halt just before the junction with the main line at Dingwall.

The signalman at Dingwall managed to alert two intermediate level crossings.

The keeper at the second location managed to close her gates and prevent any damage.
