* Scotland is traversed by some of the most scenic railway lines any tourist can undertake in the UK or even Europe? * Why more people, 'the tourists' on holiday, do not forsake their cars and take to the 'train line' for a day I can't explain. But, I hope these humble photographs, mostly taken through the railway carriage window, will inspire more people to make the trip on Scottish trains up through the lowlands and on to the beautiful Highland scenes and splendid views of Scotland. * updated Jan 15th 2008 * EMAIL Phil Brown * images-photographs-pictures-photos-webshots © Dr W P Brown 2006 * |
