  Biggar railway station served the town of Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Scotland from 1860 to 1950 on the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway.
  
  ## History
  
  The station was opened on 5 November 1860 by the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway. It was enlarged in 1906 to coincide with the Royal Highland Show in Peebles. A second track was laid, which meant that a footbridge and a second platform were built as well as a waiting room. The goods yard later formed part of Cuthbertson's engineering works. The station was closed on 5 June 1950, although it continued to be used for schools until 14 August of the same year.
