What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: Stationmaster's House: Built as a tied house for Doune's Stationmaster, around 17 years after the opening of the railway line from Dunblane to Callander in 1858. The line closed in 1965, a victim of the 'Beeching cuts'. Recorded plaque organisation: Kilmadock Development Trust.
The Stationmaster's House commemorates the railway era between Dunblane and Callander, operational from 1858 to 1965, reflecting the significant impact of rail transport on local communities before succumbing to national cuts.
