Economy It lies in agricultural country and still maintains an annual sheep fair in October, though the economics of Sheep Farming has much reduced it in recent years. Corby Glen's saw-mill has moved to the former railway station 1½ kilometres from the village. Though the station is closed, the railway, which is the London to Edinburgh line, is very busy.
