station.
The Dedication Service for the present station was held on Tuesday, 19th of December, 1989

In the station in Dalry Road there were two TL's. GSD308 is now at a distillery on Islay

When the new call signs were being implemented in the WEST SDA over a 7 week
period beginning 31/8/2020 doing 1 LSO Area per week, Kilbirnie was changed
