Name and dates

Drumgley Siding

Opened on the Scottish Midland Junction Railway.

Description

A single siding on the westbound line between Glamis, to the west, and Kirriemuir Junction. It was reached by reversal.

Closer to Cossans (original spelled Cossins) than Drumgley which is to the south east.

St Orland's Stone is nearby to the south east.

Unlike the majority of the trackbed, which remains more or less intact, the site of this siding and the line has been ploughed out. Some fenceposts remain on the south side of the line to show the trackbed was broader.
