Summary

Engaging, eccentric, informative, inspirational and only very occasionally trainspotter-ish, 'Scotland From The Rails' is the perfect guide to some of the most romantic rail journeys not just in Britain but the world. Scotland's rail network boasts the highest mainline summits in Britain; the longest bridge; the longest and boldest spans; the most famous railway bridge of all (the Harry Potter one); as well as some of the friendliest staff and the most lovely - and downright quirky - station buildings, many lovingly maintained or restored. And for icing on the cake, or rather cream on the Cranachan, some utterly charming and fascinating preserved lines, steam centres and luxury excursion trains which cruise through this magnificent land.
