Loch Tay was a railway station located at the head of Loch Tay, Stirling (district).

History

Opened on 1 April 1886, the station comprised a single platform on the east side of the line. A loop was provided for running round, and the line continued north to an engine shed. Two sidings for the pier curved away to the east.

The station closed to passengers on 11 September 1939, however as the engine shed for the line was located here, the line remained in use.^[1]

This line was scheduled for closure on 1 November 1965, however the landslide in Glen Ogle resulted in premature closure on 27 September 1965.
