![An unidentified train passing through Coupar Angus. The whitewashed building in the background is the Strathmore Hotel (known as ^The Whitehouse^ to local railwaymen who allegedly visited it from time to time) with the Tolbooth steeple on the left of the picture. The trackbed now forms part of the Coupar Angus bypass and the bracketed signal gantry in the right background now controls access to Boness station. Thought to have been photographed shortly after official closure to passengers, which occurred on 4 September 1967.
