View southward, towards Strathaven North: ex-Caledonian Railway branch from Blantyre, thence Glasgow via Newton. The station and branch were closed to passengers 30/9/45, to goods 21/9/53 - so it is not surprising there is nothing visible remaining. In the distance are the hills in the Muirkirk area, with Cairn Table (1,944 ft.).
