Kilsyth Old station was a railway station in the town of Kilsyth in Scotland. It was the original terminus of the Strath Kelvin Railway. It was closed when the railway was extended east with the opening of the Kilsyth and Bonnybridge Railway. A new station was built, Kilsyth New Station and this rendered the Old Station almost useless. It was a stone roofed building. It was demolished and now the Kilsyth swimming pool has been built over the site at the junction of Airdrie Road, Glasgow Road and Parkburn Road.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or station:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
