BR Scottish Region

Pictures on former LMS and LNER lines in Scotland, including the East Coast Main Line north of Edinburgh. A few pictures to start with, more to be added as time permits.

I made some early visits to Scotland with the RCTS in 1957 and 1960, plus some family holidays, all before I had a camera. I saw some wonderful things and have very happy memories, so I have been lucky enough to fill in some of those gaps with original slides from other photographers, some of whom are sadly now deceased. I'm very grateful that they took the shots!

From the Geoff Plumb Collection of original slides. A two-car DMU is running alongside the River Dee and is about to pass milepost 15¾, between Crathes and Banchory, as it works from Aberdeen to Ballater during August 1964. The line closed in February 1966, but part of it is in the process of being reopened. Photographer Unknown. Collect Slide No. 28678.
