The station also served the nearby Drummuir Castle estate and Botriphnie Church and the old churchyard are in the vicinity, together with St Fomac's Well.

The station was closed to passengers by British Railways in May 1968, but the line remained open for freight and special excursions for some time.

In 1869 the OS map shows that only a single platform was present with no passing loop, however a goods shed, loading dock and sidings were already in situ, approached by trains from the north-east.

The wooden station building was a Great North of Scotland Railway design however the old wooden footbridge had been replaced by a LNER metal design fabricated from old rails and signal wire.

The station has a car park and nature trail with a bird hide has been created in the old sidings and loading dock area.
