Scotstoun Goods

Opened on the Clydeside Tramway.

This was a street level goods station on the Clydeside Tramway which ran on the south side of the embankment of the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway (there were connections at Scotstoun West Goods and Partick East Junction between these lines). The yard was laid out with a goods shed and loading bank to the west and sidings to the east. It was bound by Scotstoun Street to the west, South Street (and the Whiteinch Tramway) to the south and Edzell Street to the east. To the north was the street level main line of the Clydeside Tramway and the embankment of the L&DR.

Street level lines from the east end of the yard ran south to the North British Engine Works, Park Shipbuilding Yard, Jordanvale Yard and Whiteinch East Shipbuilding Yard, all on the north bank of the Clyde. Most of these shared metals with the older Whiteinch Tramway.

The goods yard site is now a series of small industrial units.
