Buchlyvie : From the air

Описание: Buchlyvie is a village in the Stirling council area of Scotland. It is situated 14 miles west of Stirling and 18 miles north of Glasgow. Lying within the Carse of Forth, to the north is Flanders Moss and to the south are the Campsie Fells. The village lies on the A811, which follows the line of an eighteenth-century military road between Stirling and Balloch.
Buchlyvie was granted Burgh of Barony status in 1672.The Baron O' Buchlyvie was born in 1900 at Woodend Farm, Buchlyvie. The famous Clydesdale Horse was sold in 1902. The case went to the House of Lords, to determine ownership of the horse. The owners were forced to sell the horse at auction in Balfron 1911 for £9,500, a record for any horse at the time.
The Baron had sired generations of Clydesdale horses, and was highly prized in America. In 1914, the Baron's leg was broken by a kick from a mare and was put down. He was buried, but his skeleton was later uncovered and displayed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End of Glasgow.
The village has a local football team, Buchlyvie United who play in the Forth and Endrick Football League, and have done so since the league's inception in 1910. The local rugby team is Strathendrick RFC who play their home games in the nearby village of Fintry.
