Description

The West Highland Line: A Railway Journey Through Time The West Highland line, voted twice as one of the world's top railway journeys, spans from Glasgow to Fort William. In the late 19th century, the inhabitants of Fort William sought their own railway, which was finally approved in 1889 and opened in 1894. This book brings the history of the line to life through a wonderful collection of photographs. From the north shore of the Firth of Clyde to the desolate yet beautiful Rannoch Moor, Dr John McGregor guides you along this iconic route. The journey takes you from Corrour, Britain's highest and most inaccessible railway station, down towards Fort William. With its unique blend of history and stunning photography, this book is a fascinating look at one of Scotland's most famous railways.
