Opened in 1896 as "Scotstoun" by the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway, part of the Caledonian Railway, on the line from Partick to Dumbarton. The name was changed to Scotstoun West in 1900. The station closed in 1964. View north west towards Yoker Ferry and Dumbarton. Both the platform on the viaduct and the former entrance down below at street level were both extant when this image was taken. A bridleway is adjacent to the station site.
