Site of Caldwell - later Uplawmoor, station This is the former Glasgow, Barrhead & Kilmarnock (later Glasgow & South-Western) line from Glasgow St Enoch, later from Glasgow Central - and by 1986 single-track, to Kilmarnock and Carlisle. Until 2/4/62 Caldwell was named 'Uplawmoor'; it was closed on 7/11/66 - after having been portrayed on TV as 'Tannochbrae' in 'Dr Finlay's Casebook'. The water ahead is Loch Libo.
