Old travel Blog photograph of South Railway Station in Fairlie on the eastern shore of the Firth of Clyde, in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The station was originally opened on 1 June 1880 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway during the extension of the former Ardrossan Railway to Largs. It was renamed Fairlie Town on 30 June 1952, however this name was short lived and the station became Fairlie High on 2 March 1953. The station was renamed back to its original title some time before 1986. Originally a two platform station, it now has only one platform, the former northbound platform. The southbound platform was demolished and its track removed as part of the electrification of the Largs branch of the Ayrshire Coast Line in 1986.
