Kilwinning East railway station was a railway station serving the town of Kilwinning, North Ayrshire, Scotland as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway.
History
The station opened on 3 September 1888 and was simply known as Kilwinning.[Butt, page 133] It closed between 1 January 1917 and 1 February 1919 due to wartime economy,]Today there is no trace of this station, and the site is occupied by Caley House (named after L&AR owners Caledonian Railway) and the Cornerstone Church. A large viaduct at the extreme north of the town is the only physical reminder that Kilwinning was once served by this line.
