Overview

Buchlyvie railway station served the village of Buchlyvie, Stirling, Scotland, from 1856 to 1959 on the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway.

History

The station was opened on 26 May 1856 by the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway. On the westbound platform was the station building and on the south side was the goods yard.
