Old Photograph Royal Hotel Tyndrum Scotland

Old photograph of the Royal Hotel in Tyndrum located South of Glencoe, Scotland. Overshadowed by Ben Lui mountain, Tyndrum is built over the battlefield where Clan MacDougall defeated Robert the Bruce in AD 1306, and took from him the Brooch of Lorn. The village these days is notable mainly for being at a junction of transport routes. The West Highland Line railway from Glasgow splits approximately 5 miles to the south at Crianlarich, with one branch heading to Fort William and the other to Oban. Tyndrum has a station on each railway line: Upper Tyndrum on the Fort William line and Tyndrum Lower on the Oban line.
