A station called Ferniegair originally stood here between 1866 and 1917 on the Caledonian Railway's line from Motherwell to Coalburn, surrounded by coal-mines. The station was rebuilt and reopened in 2005 by Network Rail on the reopened branch from Hamilton to Larkhall. The scenery has changed out of all recognition from the original. The mines are gone and the station adjoins a country park. View north west towards Hamilton and Glasgow.
