South portal is the one under the restuarant on Great Western Road, the
former Kelvinside station? That image shows, presumably, the platform

Note the partially demolished stairwell's. The stair rods and treads have been removed to prevent access as the station was situated in a deep cutting. You can just about make out the undulations on the trackbed where the rails have been lifted.
The name Balgray refers to the land on which the course of the railway ran through/under. There was a farm or dwelling called South Balgray circa 1860's close to where Kelvinside Station was built.
