Although situated some 2Km south of the town, this station - on a narrow country road - was the nearest the line got to this centre of population, and ran from Ayr via Holehouse Junction, through Rankinston, Sinclairston through Ochiltree, Skares to Old Cumnock. The line, which was part of the Glasgow & South Western Railway was opened in 1870 and was finally closed to all traffic in 1950. The station building has been added and extended, and is a private house.
