The Scottish Region in the 1970s and 1980s

Scotland has always been an attractive destination for rail enthusiasts - a place with picturesque scenery and a variety of traction scattered across the country, with the BR Blue era offering a wonderful juxtaposition between the grit of the hardworking locos and their more serene surroundings.

With a variety of previously unpublished photographs capturing the Scottish rail scene during the 1970s and 1980s, Andy Gibbs offers up a wonderfully evocative and nostalgic look back on an interesting period of British railway history.
