There used to be a rail line from Perth to Kinnaber Junction - north of Montrose - but it closed in 1967 (with goods services continuing until 1981). The line ran from Perth on the HML to Stanley Junction, where it diverged. It headed east through Coupar Angus, Meigle and Glamis to Forfar, then to Bridge of Dun and finally Kinnaber Junction.
Nowadays, there's a sizeable population in Strathmore - with places such as Scone, Coupar Angus, Blairgowrie and Rattray, Alyth, Kirriemuir, Forfar and Brechin lying between Perth and Laurencekirk. Would a new line - shortening the time taken to travel from Glasgow to Aberdeen - be viable today?
