Mye Siding (1856-1952)Opened on the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway.
Description
This was a farm siding. It was located on the north side of the line and approached from the east. There was a railway cottage, Mye Cottage, to the immediate west on the north side of the line alongside a level crossing to its west. The crossing appears to have had a single signal post.
The line west closed in 1950 and the siding and line east to Port of Menteith closed in 1952.
The cottage has not survived.
To the south is the Mye Burn which the line crossed over a short distance to the east.
