Ardencaple Crossing House
Ardencaple Level Crossing Keepers House near Rhu
This was not a railway station, but the apparent rail platform in front of the keepers house, indicates that it could have been used as an 'on-request' “Halt”.
A local story is that the halt was used by Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law when he was Prime Minister, to travel to nearby Glenoran House.
The story is probably untrue because during his short tenure as Prime Minister in 1922/3, Bonar Law’s home was “Seabank” at 40 East Clyde St, Helensburgh.
However, it is not unlikely that Bonar Law’s super-rich relative Charles Kidson, who owned Glenoran, would have had the ‘clout’ to treat the level crossing as a personal train stop, if he had so wished.
Ardencaple Farm, for which the level crossing was intended, now has its own access road.

Glenoran Road used to lead to a garden centre (which was latterly a Dobbies); the centre closed in 2005, and the land was sold in 2007.
