Old photograph of Kildrummie Railway Station in Methven, Perthshire, Scotland. Kildrummie was the fictional name given to Methven Railway station by the one time minister of the Free Church of Scotland, The Reverend John Watson, who wrote under the pseudonym of Ian MacLaren. He was for a number of years Minister at Logiealmond. Kildrummie along with other fictional names was used by MacLaren in his book, Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush. The Battle of Methven took place in 1306 between Scottish forces led by King Robert the Bruce and the forces from England led by Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke and resulted in a resounding win for the English. This was part of the Scottish Wars of Independence.
