Across Scotland there are remnants of many disused railway lines,
reminders of the wider network that once served a variety of
locations. Some fascinating examples are to be found in eastern
Scotland and, although many are now fields, footpaths, and cycle
ways, others have left more tangible traces of what they once were.
Using a fascinating collection of photographs, Michael Mather
explores the disused railways of east Scotland, bringing them to
life with contemporary images, photographs revealing what remains
of the railway infrastructure, and some shots of the views that
passengers might have had from the trains travelling along these
lines or of points of interest along the way. Also included are a
selection of historical photographs; some taken when the lines were
still open, and some just after their closure. Lines covered
include: Ellon to Fraserburgh, Ballater, the Speyside Railway,
Dundee to Newtyle, the Strathmore Route and its branches, the
Aberfeldy Branch, Comrie to Lochearnhead, Glenfarg, the Fife &
Kinross Railway, the Devon Valley Railway, Dalry to Leith, Scotland
Street to Granton, the Penicuik Branch, Peebles, the Border
Counties Railway and the Waverley Route.
