Distance
1
Part of the campsite
This is the last section the railway ran before reaching the harbour. The road you see in the distance was certainly the trackbed once though it may have finished in a goods yard at the end by the road.

Old Mill at the Campsite
These remains are on the Campsite off Burnside in Garlieston, they are of an old sawmill which served the estate it was on. The wheel is still there though fallen apart and the overflow from the mill can be seen.

In the wheel pit
View of the remains of the water wheel in the pit from the old wood mill. Looks to me like it could be restored quite easily.

Overflow from the mill
I presume this is where the water ran when the wheel was not in use, diverted round and back in the outfall.

Crossing by the gate
This road lead to the old estate sawmill with local level crossing that crossed the railway that went through here, the section of wall just past the post is about where it went. The gates now are part of a camp site which is behind me.

Garliestown 2nd station (site), Dumfries & Galloway
Opened in 1876 by Directors of the Wigtown Railway on what later became the Portpatrick & Wigtownshire Joint Railway, this station was on a short branch line off the P&WJR branch line from Newton Stewart to Whithorn. It replaced Image but closed to regular passenger traffic as early as 1903 and to occasional excursions in 1935.
View north west along the former platform. The only remainder is the short section of grey wall to the left of the white facilities block, which carried the platform edge. The platform was on a curve, which can still be identified looking towards the camper vans in the distance.
