It was originally a private station for the nearby Arisaig House, but was open to the public from the beginning. It is currently a request stop.
By the later part of the century its main users were local school children who went to school at Lochaber High just outside Fort William.
The derelict station house was sold in the 1980s and is now a private holiday home but the station platform is still railway property with a bus shelter type shelter providing rudimentary cover from the rain.
