**Also known as Dundee (Ward). Regarding the other stations, considerable uncertainty exists as to their exact location, names and closure dates. To confuse matters further, the exact location and length of Law Tunnel also varies according to sources. Without going into too much detail here, it would appear that a station did exist at Crossroads (aka Cross Roads) just S of the Fairmuir goods branch. Back of Law is more uncertain, but it seems to have existed in some shape or form just to the N end of Law Tunnel.
