Name and dates

Rosemill Siding (1831-1965)

Opened on the Dundee and Newtyle Railway.

Description

This was a short public siding with a loading bank and small hut immediately to the east of Rosemill level crossing and Rosemill Loop. It was accessed from the east and on the south side of the line.

The siding existed in 1860 and may be even older. Most of the quarries nearby, and the bone works, had their own sidings.

To the west was the Balbeuchley Incline, later bypassed, and to the south east the original alignment to Baldovan and Downfield.
