Description
The Railways of Peebles By Roy G. Perkins and Iain MacIntosh In 1855, the railway arrived in Peebles, but its presence was soon marked by dispute between two rival companies. This small town in the Scottish Borders became the focal point of a complex web of railways, with the North British Railway and the Caledonian Railway vying for control. A fascinating collection of photographs brings to life the history of these railways, which once crisscrossed the region. From the original Peebles Railway to the new lines built by the North British, this book explores the story behind the railways that shaped Peebles' past. Although the railways in the Borders were closed in the 1960s, their legacy lives on, with sections still used as cycle paths and the new Borders Railway set to bring fresh life to the area.
