Newtyle history

---

The original village of Newtyle was centred on the church and what are now Kirkton Road and Smiddy road. Hatton Castle to the south and Newbigging to the north lie within the parish boundary.

The Railway

Newtyle was the northern terminus for the first commercial railway in Scotland which opened in 1831. The grid street plan of the central part of the village was laid out shortly after the railway opened. It was intended to form the basis for a manufacturing centre which could take advantage of the communications link to Dundee. Rail services to and from the village were in decline for a number of years before the Beeching Axe closed in the 1960s.
