Scotch Dyke railway station was a railway station in Cumberland close to the Scots' Dike, the traditional border with Scotland.

## History

The station was opened on 25 October 1861 by the Border Union Railway as 'Scotsdyke' and later renamed 'Scotch Dyke'. It was a two-platform station with a level crossing to its north.

The station closed on 2 May 1949. The line was closed to all traffic by British Railways on 5 January 1969, and dismantled in 1971, see Border Union Railway.

Today (2006) the former station retains its building and platforms. The canopy of the building has a script reading "Speed and comfort by rail".
