Description

The Deeside Line: A Royal Railway's Forgotten Past This illustrated history showcases the steamy heyday of the Royal railway that once connected Aberdeen city centre to Ballater in Royal Deeside. The line, which was used by members of the Royal family when visiting Balmoral Castle, fell victim to the Beeching cuts and was closed in the mid 1960s. Today, the route has been transformed into a long distance footpath and part of the national cycle network. This book presents a nostalgic look at the railway's history, featuring photographs that capture its former glory. The Deeside Line is now a rare glimpse into a bygone era, preserved for future generations to enjoy.
