Background
Description
Buchlyvie was granted Burgh of Barony status in 1672.The Baron O' Buchlyvie was born in 1900 at Woodend Farm, Buchlyvie. The famous Clydesdale Horse was sold in 1902. The case went to the House of Lords, to determine ownership of the horse. The owners were forced to sell the horse at auction in Balfron 1911 for £9,500, a record for any horse at the time. The Baron had sired generations of Clydesdale horses, and was highly prized in America. In 1914, the Baron's leg was broken by a kick from a mare and was put down. He was buried, but his skeleton was later uncovered and displayed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the West End of Glasgow.
