(Undated) information in NMRS.
(Location cited as NX 686 512). Kirkcudbright Station, built 1864 for the Kirkcudbrightshire Rly. All that is left of this single-platform terminal station is the main building, a 2-storey, 5-bay rubble building in the Elizabethan style, very similar to the first Ayr station, and now a coffee shop.
