Name and dates
Balmanno Platform
Opened on the Glenfarg Line (North British Railway).
Description
There appears to have been a platform south of Balmanno Castle for either railway or castle use. A platform is depicted on the 1901 25 inch OS map. This is on the northbound line, south of the castle and crossed by a minor road bridge.
To the north west was Balmanno Signal Box and to the east Kilnockie Viaduct.
The site has been obliterated by the M90 which follows the course of the former railway at this location.
