Scope and Content Montgomerie Pier Station, Ardrossan, North Ayrshire This station was opened in 1890 by the Lanarkshire & Ayrshire Railway, a subsidiary of the Caledonian Railway, which was built to give the latter access to Ayrshire, and particularly to the port of Ardrossan for the shipment of coal and iron, and for excursion traffic to Arran. This shows the interior of the station, which is on a pier built for the Caledonian Steam Packet Company's steamers. This view shows the steel-framed, timber-clad construction of the building. The train is a special excursion organised by the Stephenson Locomotive Society. This station was used to a limited extent for excursion traffic until 1966, when it was closed, and steamer services concentrated at the Glasgow & South Western Railway's Winton Pier. The Montgomery Pier building was demolished soon after closure. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
