There was actually a station at Cleghorn. If you go to www.old-maps.co.uk and search for Cleghorn you'll see the station on the 1864 map so it was there at the time you're interested in. Also some more info from Groome's gazetteer, 1882: Cleghorn, a mansion, an estate, and a station in Lanark parish, Lanarkshire. The mansion stands near the station, on the right bank of Mouse Water, 2¼ miles NE of Lanark town, and is an old but comfortable edifice, surrounded by a finely-wooded park. Its owner, Wm. Eliott-Lockhart, Esq. (b. 1833; suc. 1878), holds 2280 acres in the shire, valued at £2554 per annum. The estate includes a romantic ravine along the course of Mouse Water; had anciently a chapel; and contains vestiges of a Roman camp, 600 yards long and 420 broad, supposed to have been formed by Agricola. The station is on the Glasgow and Carstairs section of the Caledonian railway, 2¾ miles W of Carstairs; and adjoins the junction of the branch line to Lanark and Douglas.
