Aberlady railway station

Opened on 1 April 1898 by the Aberlady, Gullane and North Berwick Railway when they opened the line between Aberlady junction (on the North British Railway between Dunbar and Edinburgh) and Gullane.^[1][2]

The station had one platform on the north side of a passing loop, there were two sidings behind the platform forming a goods yard able to accommodate most types of goods including live stock, it was equipped with a two and a half ton crane.^[3][4]

The line and station were absorbed by the North British Railway on 6 August 1900.^[2] Then station passed on to the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) during the Grouping of 1923. That company then withdrew passenger services nine years later,^[1] although the line was still open to freight until 1964.

The station building was used as by the LNER as a camping apartment from 1935.^[5] The Scottish Region continued this use of the buildings, sometimes marketed as Camping Cottages in the 1950s and up to the line closing in 1964.^[6]

Despite being closed the station had been the location of a Camping coach in 1956, 1957 and from 1961 to 1964.^[7]
