This intermediate station on the Newcastle-Edinburgh portion of the London (King's Cross) - Edinburgh 'East Coast Main Line' was opened by the North British Rly company on 22 June 1846 and closed to regular passenger traffic on 18 June 1951. The line itself remains in regular use by passenger traffic, and has been electrified.

Opened in 1846 by the North British Railway, Cockburnspath was a two-platform through station, the offices being situated on the S-bound platform. The station closed in 1951, although the railway itself remains in operation as a section of the Edinburgh to London main line. Since its closure, part of the offices continued to be occupied as a dwelling, but the former booking office remaining relatively intact. The building itself is roughly 'H'-plan and single-storeyed, is built from local dressed pink sandstone, and has a gabled slate roof with deep overhanging eaves. At the time of survey in 2002, the building was in the process of being refurbished and converted into a dwelling.
