This public house, in Main Street, is halfway between the two stations that have served Cleland. The present station, a few hundred yards to the left, on the Edinburgh - Shotts - Glasgow line, was opened in 1869 as Bellside, was renamed Omoa in 1879 and only became Cleland in 1941. A similar distance to the right was an earlier Cleland station, opened in 1867 on a line that meandered round to Morningside and Wishaw. It was closed briefly during the First World War and finally closed to passengers in 1930.
