Old Photograph Viaduct Lochearnhead Scotland

Old photograph of a steam train approaching the railway viaduct at Lochearnhead, Scotland. The Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Comrie Railway was established with the intention of filling the 15 mile gap between Comrie, Perthshire, where the railway had arrived in 1893, and the Callander and Oban Railway at Balquhidder. The line was authorised as far as St Fillans in 1897, opening on 1st October 1901. The Caledonian Railway took the company over in August 1902, thereafter extending the line to Lochearnhead in 1904. Trains first travelled the through route to Balquhidder on 1st May 1905. The line was never a commercial success and closed on 1st October 1951. Lochearnhead villages is located within the Breadalbane area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Three clan family names associated with Lochearnhead are McLaren, Stewart and McGregor. The first of these is recorded in 1296, when Lauren of Ardveich had his name entered into the Ragman Roll. The McLaren burial ground at Leckine was last used in 1993. By the time the Stewarts came to Ardvorlich in 1582, the Reformed church, under the guidance of John Knox, had been adopted in Scotland for more than two decades. It was nearly two centuries later that the MacGregors acquired Edinchip, in 1778, building the current Edinchip House in 1830.
