Kirkcudbright railway station served the town of Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland from 1864 to 1965 on the Kirkcudbright Railway.

History[edit]

The station opened on 7 March 1864 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. To the west, was the goods shed as well as its respective sidings and a cattle dock, which was built in 1894. To the north was the signal box, which opened in 1889, and a siding for the engine shed which was situated at the north end of the platform. In 1955 the engine shed closed and the signal box was replaced with a ground frame. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 3 May 1965.^{[citation needed]}

The station has since been converted into a café and cookery school.^[1]
