Auldhouseburn Junction
Looking up the road to Crossflat farm on the west side of Auldhouseburn Junction. The first pair of abutments is where the Bairds mineral line from Muirkirk to Glenbuck crossed the road. This probably fell into disuse around 1922-23 when the last pit at Glenbuck closed. Further up is a single abutment where the Muirkirk Lanark line crossed until 1964. Its partner has been removed. This abutment is in much poorer condition and seems to have been built with a softer stone than those on the mineral line. Further up the road there was a bridge across the Muirkirk canal but no trace of it remains.
