Lots of interesting photographs, all looking as if they were taken in the 20's and 30's. But very little indication of where we were. It looked as if it were pretty cold there, even in summer and there's the title to tell us we're on the road to the Highlands. Were we actually in the Highlands? And where?

I love old photos etc. especially when it's a place I've visited. Found this by chance and it has brightened my Sunday morning. Thank you.

Too quick with the pics!

My sister and my cousin have moved to Pitlochry in 2009 and they are settled with their own families there. Beautiful place. I have been visiting regularly.

Fascinating

Still instantly recognisable. Summer holidays with my Grandparents always meant a trip from Ashintully into “Blairie” on a Saturday for a comic and sweets.

Great! Thanks for posting.

My grandparents came from Forfar. My grandfather was a chemist and had a shop on East High Street. My gran was matron of Forfar Infirmary at the beginning of the 20th century. I spent most of my summer holidays there in the 40s and 50s. My favourite shops were " Sandy" Ianerelli 's ( ice cream ! ) and a sweety shop in Castle Street ( Peter Reid rock ! )

I love itso much

Nothing has changed. Scotland today is still a wet, dreary dull place. Some nice scenery but nothing to do there.

That’s good , payed many a permit on that there bridge,

Lovely, can you tell me how you access here by car?

As a child, I lived in Fearnan by Loch Tay. I remember visits to the Birks Cinema I attended Breadalbane Academy. Had my first haircut at McKinnon's barber shop and introduced to ice cream at Mortalli's Ice Cream shop in the square. I understand the poplar avenue has no poplar trees now. A stranger took my photo as a wee boy with my puppy on a seat under the monument on the left of the postcard. It would be nice if someone narrated this video. Brings back memories. Thank you.

not looking forward to the snow melt, even as someone up on brechin road

Have done this walk the other way, and guess what, we were absolutely drenched. In Scotland, would you credit that. 😅

Shithole then , shithole now .

It’s sad.. I live in Forfar at goosecroft so I live extremely close to it.. and I was also at my grans who lives in wellbraehead.

Interesing photographs. A town I've stayed in numerous times when returning to my ancestral country at Weem and westwards in Glenlyon.

I went to school in Forfar, many happy memories ❤️. I live in France now and, with the current pandemic I wonder if I will ever see it again 🥺. Loved the old views 👍

steam trains to killin then mini cruise ....

Hi Braes, nice clip you put together! I am a local and am doing some research into Killins history (for a local exhibition as well). There are a few pics I have never seen before and I was wondering if you could provide your sources, please?

Beautiful. Thanks for posting. The statute at 3:05, what was it?

paradise lost !!!

Them Glens are impressive with the steep inclines and forests smack bang in the middle. In fact the old tree stumps are no doubt as impressive in age. Great walk. Mark

Fantastic! Thanks for posting.

God it's hardly changed from a lot of these photos.

GREAT VIDEO ENJOYED

Fascinating images as I have been visiting Loch Tay for many years on holiday. What happened to the old steamboats? Were they broken up, or are they sitting on the bottom of the Loch somewhere? The new steamboat at Fearnan. Is it ever going to be finished and launched?

My mum went there l live at green street close to it and my friend lila does as well

My old home town
