Description
This was a two platform station with offices on Queensferry Road. There were waiting rooms on the platforms. The station was south of the road bridge and to the north was Craigleith Junction, the junction between the lines to Leith North and Barnton from Edinburgh Princes Street. There were goods sidings on the east side of the junction, approached from the south, with one in particular for Craigleith Quarry.
The line had opened in 1861, the station in 1879. The line closed to passengers in 1962 and completely in 1967.
The trackbed is now a footpath. The platforms remain and Queensferry Road still crosses the former line with a bridge.
