| Forfar's Railway Heritage | |||
| Forfar was the principal station between Perth and Aberdeen in the days when trains between Glasgow and Aberdeen always ran via Stanley and Kinnaber Junctions on the Caledonian Railway. Although Forfar lost its station in the 1960s an amazing amount of railway structures still survive - the station itself having lasted into the 90s. | |||
