About Campsie Glen Station


The Saturday Stirling Observer of the 4th July 1867 gave the following description of the opening of the line.

"The line is an extension of Campsie Railway, the junction being formed about 200 yards on this side of Lennoxtown Station. The distance from Lennoxtown to Sauchie or Killearn Station is 8¼ miles and to Glasgow 11½ miles, so that the length of the whole line from Glasgow is about 19¾ miles. After leaving Lennoxtown the line is a single one worked by a baton. About 150 yards beyond the junction at Lennoxtown is a station for the accommodation of those of that village who wish to travel on the new line and about a mile and a half farther on is the Campsie Glen Station. Three or four miles beyond is the Strathblane Station, situated about a couple of hundred yards to the south of the Parish Church, and about a quarter of a mile from the Strathblane Calico Print Works, which have a siding station of their own. A journey of ten minutes brings the traveller to the extremity of the line at Sauchie."
