Newtyle is a village in Angus, Scotland. We visited it the same day we went to Meigle.
Newtyle was the railhead for the first railway in North-east Scotland, the Dundee and Newtyle Railway, which used rope-hauled inclines, horses and sails to pull the carriages, before finally steam locomotives. This plaque commemorates it:-
Newtyle’s War Memorial is a segmented stone column at a crossroads to the northeast of the village:-
Nowadays the names are on two plaques and are mixed for the two World Wars originally they were carved into the stone. 20 of the 28 are for the Great War:-
