Old milepost
The 19 miles from Stirling post still survives in spite of its broken state. It is on the north side of the road near to Aberfoyle Health Centre on the western approach into Aberfoyle and the lost legend was ABERFOYLE/ ½ MS.

Walkway at Aberfoyle
The railway came across the soft moss of Central Scotland to Aberfoyle in 1882 but the line closed under the Beeching cuts and the Station was demolished in 1959. The line has been turned into a path for walkers and the station site is part of a large car park

Cyclepath to Gartmore
The path follows the line of the old railway line to Glasgow (presumably lost in the 1960s - the station was pulled down in 1959). To the left is a line of former railway cottages. The viewpoint is the wooden footbridge over Allt a'Mhangam.
