Nigel (Author) Welbourn

Lost lines in Scotland are often found in the romantically picturesque countryside, but many others are to be discovered in the midst of highly industrialised locations, providing an unparalleled diversity of lines and traffic. Throughout Scotland a host of fascinating lost railway remains can also be found, from urbanised city centres to the remotest Highlands, from the earliest tramways to the most spectacular viaducts. Having visited and revisited the railways of Scotland over the last 50 years, author Nigel Welbourn provides the reader with well-researched text describing the history and current status of their lost lines. This addition to the highly successful Lost Lines series is illustrated with a fascinating selection of more than 250 historic and present-day photographs, plus maps, tickets and ephemera.
