High Blantyre Station 1960s

1960s High Blantyre Station looking to Sydes Brae

This photo dates to the 1960’s. Pictured is High Blantyre Station looking South up towards Sydes Brae.

The Station is no longer there and was by the 1960’s already derelict. Some readers may recall playing there or walking along the unused rail tracks. The railway bridge in the background is now the modern East Kilbride Expressway, but this bridge used to continue Craigmuir Road, right up the hill, beyond the Church, over the railway and up to Craigmuir Cottage near Auchentibber.

The site of the station is now the modern homes immediately next to High Blantyre Old Parish Church.
