The station opened on 13 October 1856,[1] and closed 6 December 1954.[1]
The station was named after nearby Cassillis House, and consisted of two side platforms and a moderate sized station building. Since closure both platforms have been removed (and the line singled), however the station building remains intact as a private residence.[2]
