You may not be aware but there used to be a railway line that ran from Dunblane to Doune to Callander and linked beyond to Oban. There was also a line tracking from Perth to Balquhidder via Comrie. Pictures below are in turn the now cycle path along the old rail line between Doune and Dunblane (my photo with riders), one of the old arches that carried the Argaty road over the rail line (not my photo) and one of Balquhidder station as was (definitely not my photo). And the last one is the track going up Glenogle and with viaduct, now a good walking and cycling route (again not my photo). http://fraitt.atspace.com/doune/doune/doune_railways.htm

Shuna Mayes lives in Dunblane, Scotland well within hiking, biking or kayaking distance of every locale where a Stewart of Balquhidder once lived. She enjoys getting outside with her camera and capturing sights that we would never have access to without her generosity and enthusiasm. Shuna has traced her ancestry to an 18th century soldier named James Stewart, who is genetically linked to our clan, but remains frustratingly elusive in his exact relationship.
