Old Photographs Buchlyvie Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and houses in Buchlyvie village in Stirlingshire, Scotland. Buchlyvie was granted Burgh of Barony status in 1672, and by the eighteenth century was a mining village served by two railway lines. Buchlyvie Junction formed the intersection of the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway, which linked Stirling and Balloch, and the Strathendrick and Aberfoyle Railway which ran north to Aberfoyle. Passenger services closed in 1951, and the railway itself closed in 1959.
