Railways of the Scottish Highlands Series

The five books which follow tell the unique stories of the railways that penetrated some of Europe's most difficult terrain and opened up scenery as dramatic as may be seen from any train, anywhere. Remarkably, at least part of all five systems are still in use today, some carrying heavier seasonal passenger traffic than ever before. All these books include colour as well as numerous black and white illustrations, whilst appendices list all major facts like openings and closures of sections and stations.

Other volumes in this series include:

VOL I - "The West Highland Railway"
VOL II - "The Highland Railway"
VOL III - "The Great North of Scotland Railway"
VOL IV - "The Callander & Oban Railway"
VOL V
- "The Skye Railway"

P.J.G. Ransom has updated this classic history to reflect important developments in recent years.
