The SLS/BLS Scottish Rambler No 2 has just passed through the site of Buittle station (1859-1894), heading west, behind Jubilee 45588 Kashmir. The wayside station (pronounced 'Bittle') between Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas was closed early in the railway's history when the line was doubled. The old station entrance can be seen to the left of the road on 15 April 1963. [Ref query 6890]
