Tour Scotland short 4K Spring travel video clip of a diesel passenger passing through the railway station on history visit to Errol in Carse of Gowrie, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Dundee and Perth and Aberdeen Railway Junction Company opened Errol railway station in 1847, which by 1863 had become the Scottish Central Railway and subsequently in 1865 part of the Caledonian Railway. The line took a direct route and thus the station is north of the village at a separate hamlet. The first station master was Thomas Jagger and the last left Errol in 1976; the station finally closed on 28 September 1985. The station is B-listed and was sold to Errol Station Trust and opened as The Railway Heritage Centre in May 1990, winning the Railway Preservation Societies/Ian Allan Premier Award for Best Preserved Station in Britain that same year. By 2000 the museum had closed, and the buildings were later converted for residential use. Errol is twinned with Mardié, a village on the Loire near Orléans in France. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome.
