Beattock railway station was a station which served the village of Beattock, in the parish of Kirkpatrick-Juxta[2] in the Scottish county of Dumfries and Galloway. It was served by trains on what was originally the Caledonian Main Line, and is now known as the West Coast Main Line. Between 1881 and 1964, Beattock was also the junction for the short branch line to Moffat.[3] Following closure in 1972, the nearest station is at Lockerbie.
