About Kirkconnel Rail Station

Kirkconnel is a small parish in Dumfries and Galloway, southwestern Scotland. It is located on the A76 near the head of Nithsdale. Principally it was a mining community thriving until the late 1960s when the local mine, Fauldhead colliery closed. It has strong ties to football. The name comes from The Church of Saint Conal. In 1850 the village had only a single street. Next to Kirkconnel is a separate village called Kelloholm.
