Scope and Content Kilkerran Station, South Ayrshire This shows the main station building, on the south-bound platform, from the west-south-west. Note the crowstepped gables, a deliberately archaic design feature. The platform in front of the building is at its original height. The lattice-girder footbridge probably dates from about 1890. Note the floral display on the higher section of platform. The staff at Kilkerran were noted gardeners. The intermediate stations on the Ayr-Girvan line were closed in 1965, as part of the mid-1960s rationalisation of British Railways. This building survives, in non-railway use. This station was opened in 1860 by the Maybole & Girvan Railway. It served the estate of the Fergussons of Kilkerran, and its buildings were more substantial than those of other stations on the line. It incorporated a house for the agent on the first floor. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
