Land for sale in the centre of an East Renfrewshire village has gone under offer after a successful bid by a community organisation.

After many years of trying Neilston Development Trust (NDT) have snapped up the 2.5-acre site, which lies southeast of Wellpark Lane and is adjacent to Double Hedges Road.

[This land was the route of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway beyond the buffer stop at Neilston on the route to Uplawmoor, Lugton and Ardrossan. -RS]

With the buffer at Neilston at my back this is the view towards Uplawmoor showing the disused trackbed. This was still easily walkable for miles in the 1980s, looks trickier now.

314 205 waits in the reversing stub at Neilston on 5 February before re-entering the station (formerly known as Neilston High) to return to Glasgow. The line once continued behind the camera to join the G&SWR main line at Lugton and continued independently to Ardrossan and Irvine.
