Barrhead South was one of four railway stations in Barrhead, Renfrewshire, Scotland.

[edit] History

The station was originally part of the Paisley and Barrhead District Railway. The line was opened in 1897 and used for freight until the 1960s but none of the stations including this one opened for passenger travel.

Situated in the hills south of Barrhead ^[1], it was the only side platform station on the Paisley and Barrhead District Railway ^[2] It is clear from the wagons in the photograph that some railway activity took place in the area.
