| The westbound platform at Loch Skerrow Halt, on the former Portpatrick railway system. From 1861 until 1965, the Portpatrick and Wigtonshire railway - the Port Road, as it was familiarly known - meandered across south western Scotland, from Dumfries to the ports of Stranraer and Portpatrick. The old route is a good access track to get into the remote low hills south of Galloway Forest Park. Here at Loch Skerrow Halt (the loch is just metres to the west),the water tank and siding were to left and houses to the right. The platforms were staggered.
Quite a 'find' but as someone said, "...why on earth would you want a station here?" We never found out. |
