A 166-year-old hotel sited on one of Scotland's busiest railway lines has been brought to market.

It sits on Foundry Loan which runs immediately opposite Larbert train station on the central Scotland rail line connecting Glasgow, and Edinburgh to the south with Stirling, Perth and Inverness to the north.

The hotel is being offered at a guide price £775,000.
