Aberfoyle: When Aberfoyle station was open this would have been a view from platform looking directly north at the station building, beyond which was the station forecourt. Nothing has survived of the station. However, the red sandstone building (known as Station Buildings) was built using material (as was Craiguchty Terrace) brought to Aberfoyle during testing of the railway over Flanders Moss in the very early days of the line. The station opened in 1882 and the engineer of the railway, Charles Forman, went on to build the Trossachs New Road in 1885 (now known as the Duke's Pass) which allowed coaches from Aberfoyle station to reach the Trossachs and Loch Katrine. The road also served the slate quarries.
