It served the village of Lumphanan, Aberdeenshire, famous for its associations with Macbeth and King Malcolm III.

[3] The station had a passing loop installed in 1892 and then two stone built platforms standing on a slightly curved section of this single track portion of the branchline.

The ticket office, toilets and waiting room were situated on the up platform, consisting of a rough-cast and brick built single-storey structure, with round-headed windows at the front and a central covered area.

A pedestrian footbridge linked the platforms and a road overbridge stood at the western end of the station.
