Carsegowan Moss
Carsegowan Moss is a Scottish Wildlife Trust site. ICI Nobel built an explosives factory here in WW2 producing gunpowder; it closed in 1945-6 but many buildings remain - for example this cottage was a gatehouse or guardhouse; workers passed through a gate on the right of the building, showing their passes at the window.

Carsegowan Moss Munitions Factory
View over to the site of this former WW2 munitions factory. Currently the factory canteen is for sale and a planning application has been made for change of use and conversion to a residential dwelling. Other buildings are also available by separate negotiation, however the estate agents details has a warning (in bold letters!) that anyone wishing to view any of these premises should do so at their own risk.

Causewayend railway station (site), Dumfries & Galloway
Opened in 1875 by the Wigtown Railway on what later became the Portpatrick & Wigtownshire Joint Railway branch line from Newton Stewart to Whithorn, this short-lived station closed in 1885.
View north west from the road. The line was behind the gate, and appears to be used as a farm track. Running to the left it entered a short cutting to go under the road on the way to Wigtown and Whithorn. The platform must have been somewhere near the gate but no maps are known to exist showing the exact location.
