Auchendinny railway station was a station which served Auchendinny, in the Scottish county of Midlothian. It was served by trains on the branch line that terminated at Penicuik.

History

Opened by the Penicuik Railway, then run by the North British Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, only to be closed by British Railways three years later.

The site today

The platform is still there although overgrown and the station building is a dwelling house.
