Old Photographs Of Luthrie Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Luthrie, a village in the parish of Creich in North Fife. The present Creich and Luthrie Church is located in an area of rolling countryside just north of the village of Luthrie. The Parish Church, which is near Luthrie, was built between 1830 and 1832. It is a handsome structure, and contains seating for 252 people. The Newburgh and North Fife Railway was a Scottish railway company formed to build a connecting line between St Fort and Newburgh, in Fife, intended to open up residential traffic between the intermediate communities and Dundee and Perth. It opened its line, which was expensive to construct, in 1909 but the local traffic never developed. It closed to passenger traffic in 1951, and completely in 1964. The line was worked from the outset by the North British Railway. There were intermediate stations at Kilmany, Luthrie and Lindores; Kilmany and Luthrie had passing loops and the three stations had ample 450 feet long platforms. There were also intermediate goods sidings at Rathillet, just west of Kilmany, and at Ayton Smithy, between Lindores and Luthrie. Carphin House dates back to 1790 and sits within a 1,000 acre estate.
