The service saw the unveiling of a new memorial to remember those who died in the rail crash of 1968 and the rail disaster of December 1937, which claimed 35 lives when an express ran into a stationary train.

Cathie Craigie MSP said:

"It was deeply touching to attend the service to remember those who lost their lives in train accidents at Castlecary. This service was a poignant tribute to those killed and a continuing commitment to never forget the tragic loss of life which happened in our local area."

"It is also testament to years of hard work by local people to create a lasting memorial for future generations."
