Opened in 1877 by the Girvan & Portpatrick Junction Railway, later part of the Glasgow & South Western Railway on what is today the line from Ayr to Stranraer, this station closed in 1965. View north towards the station site, and towards Glenwhilly and Ayr. The station was demolished after closure and a private residence built on the site of the goods shed. It can just be seen in the distance.
