Scope and Content Newtyle Old Station, Newtyle, Angus (Angus council area) The Dundee and Newtyle Railway was one of Scotland's first railways, running over the Sidlaw Hills from Dundee, and doing so by a series of rope-worked inclines linked by relatively level sections. This was the northern terminus. This view shows the station from the north, in use as a barn, and stacked with haybales. To the left is the stepped base of a hand crane. The single-storey block on the right is probably a later addition. This station appears to have been rebuilt in about 1836, but its use as a passenger station ended in 1868, when the final stage of a programme of diversions round the inclines was completed. It then became a goods station, and closed in 1956. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
