This Highland Railway station was served by trains on the Buckie and Portessie Branch north of Keith until 1915 and remained open for freight until April 1944.

The station was opened by the Highland Railway in 1884 to serve the sizeable town of Buckie but had a short life with services being suspended during World War I on 9 August 1915[5] In 1917 the track between Aultmore (towards Keith) and Portessie was requisitioned by the Admiralty[6] and the rails south of Buckie removed as far as Aultmore, although it was the intention to reinstate the track and restart services when the war ended.

[9] The line to Aultmore became the terminus of a goods spur from Keith and continued in use until 1966 and the separated stub from Buckie to Portessie survived until 1944 in isolation from the rest of the, by then, London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) system.

As a rather straggly branch line, the Highland route struggled to compete, and the population between Buckie and Keith was too sparse to provide much additional traffic.

The station was accessed via East Cathcart Street and stood near the old Cluny Rope and Sail Works and the United Free Church.
