"FROM  THE  ARCHIVES" THE  HERALD  MAY 24, 2013 50 YEARS AGO. "The latest station house up for sale, if you are keeping an eye on the market, is at Killywhan, Kirkcudbright, on the Dumfries-Stranraer line.  One attraction not mentioned in the advertisement is that of living in one of the few places named after a racehorse.  Beeswing, the village served by the station, is named after the winner of the Ascot Gold Cup in 1842.  A picture of the horse originally appeared on the sign of the public house round which the village grew."
