Opened in 1840 by the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock & Ayr Railway, this station only lasted a few months. View north east towards Milliken Park and Glasgow. In 1876, the Glasgow & South Western Railway opened a new station immediately behind the camera position. There is still a station on this site today. See Image
