Aberfoyle
Aberfoyle is a village in Stirling, Scotland. It is about 27 miles from Glasgow. It lies along the River Forth at the bottom of Craigmore which is 420 metres high. In 2010, it was estimated that the population was 800.
During the 1820s to the 1950s, the slate quarries on Craigmore were a principal industry for Aberfoyle. Other industries, established in the 1720s, included wool spinning and a lint mill.
From 1882, Aberfoyle had its own railway station, but this shut to passengers in 1951 and to freight traffic in 1959. Nowadays the village is supported by the forestry industry and tourism.
Aberfoyle calls itself 'The Gateway to the Trossachs'. Its position attracts visitors as they can visit Loch Lomond and the Lake of Menteith, Scotland's single lake. The nearby Queen Elizabeth Forest Park arranges walks round the local lochs. Aberfoyle also has the largest Go Ape adventure course in the UK, with the longest zipline in the country. Visitors can also see the 'Quack Commandoes', where a sheepdog herds Indian Runner ducks!
