Lochearnhead, St Fillans and Comrie Railway Closed in 1951 the trackbed is mostly available as a path from here to Lochearmhead. Begrudgingly here given the passive aggressive signage at parking area.

The railway ran to Balquhidder from the main line at Gleneagles via Crieff. Before the tracks were lifted, it was used to build some of the hydroelectric infrastructure.
