Kilsyth Old station served the town of Kilsyth in Scotland. It was the original terminus of the Kelvin Valley Railway.
History[]
The station opened as Kilsyth on 1 January 1878 by the Kilsyth and Bonnybridge Railway. It was renamed to Kilsyth (Old) in 1888, renamed Kilsyth in 1936 and it closed on 6 August 1951.[1] A new station was built, Kilsyth New Station and this rendered the Old Station almost useless. It was a stone roofed building. It was demolished and now the Kilsyth swimming pool has been built over the site at the junction of Airdrie Road, Glasgow Road and Parkburn Road.[2]
