Bowland railway station (Bowland Bridge between May 1849 and July 1862) was a railway station in the village of Bowland, near Galashiels, Scotland. Located on the now closed Waverley Route, it was opened to passengers on 4 August 1848, closing to passengers on 7 December 1953[1] and finally to goods services on 23 March 1964.[2] The line itself was closed and lifted in 1969, although the section of it which Bowland was on re-opened in 2015.[3]

The station consisted of two platforms with a wooden waiting room on each and a small ticket office next to one of the platforms. A signal box, one siding goods yard and weigh bridge were all found near the site. There are very few remains of the station left, but a building near the sidings is still extant.[4]
