Part of the site of Falkirk Tryst, Reddingmuir, Stirlingshire |
Up until the 19th century, cattle were driven 'on the hoof' from the furthest points of the Highlands and Islands to a gathering point or 'tryst'. Crieff, on the edge of the Highlands, was a tryst site, as was Falkirk, Stirlingshire.
A network of drove roads brought them here. Once sold, they were driven on again to south-east England, where they were prepared for the London market. |
