Description

This former station was to the north of Dundee Law and the Law Tunnel. A station house remains standing which was on the east side of the line immediately south of a level crossing with Clepington Road.

Today a two storey building, which likes like a house, remains in the grounds of King's Cross Hospital .

Little else remains of the line here, except the suggestion of the course by property boundaries.

The orientation of the building betrays the alignment of the railway. Tracks ran on the west side of the building. A clock faced the railway, the roundel which held the clock can still be seen. There are two dormer windows facing the former line. A lean-to is to the rear.

The station closed in 1861 when a deviation was built via Lochee to avoid the Law Tunnel and, particularly, Law Incline. (Dundee and Newtyle Deviations (Dundee and Perth Railway).) The building became a private house. It remained in use until the early 1990s. It is decaying slowly.

The building is at number 276 opposite Soutar Street.
