Scope and Content Kilkerran Station, South Ayrshire This station was opened in 1860 by the Maybole & Girvan Railway, largely to serve the estate of the Fergussons of Kilkerran. It was latterly the only original station belonging to that company to survive, and apart from the addition of a footbridge appeared to be largely unaltered. This view shows the south-bound platform of the station from the north west with the footbridge, probably added in the 1880s or 90s,in the foreground. The station house contained on its upper floor the agent's house, The low platform in front of the house is part of the original station. Kilkerran Station remained open until the late 1960s, despite the withdrawal of services from most of the other wayside stations on the Ayr to Girvan line at an earlier date. The goods shed and the station building seen here were still in existence in the late 1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
