History
The station opened as Kilsyth in 1878 by the Kilsyth and Bonnybridge Railway. It was renamed to Kilsyth (Old) in 1888 and it closed in 1951 when the railway was extended east with the opening of the Kilsyth and Bonnybridge railway. A new station was built, Kilsyth New Station and this rendered the Old Station almost useless. It was a stone roofed building. It was demolished and now the Kilsyth swimming pool has been built over the site at the junction of Airdrie Road, Glasgow Road and Parkburn Road.[1]
