Cobbinshaw railway station was on the Caledonian Railway Edinburgh to Carstairs line sited near a village called Woolfords in South Lanarkshire. The freight only branch line to Tarbrax joined here.
The Royal Mail post for the local area was dropped off at Cobbinshaw, so local addresses then had Cobbinshaw as their post district, rather than the current West Calder.
