Moving from the early days of tourist traffic to the Highlands and Islands, To Western Scottish Waters takes us through the golden years of David MacBrayne and the Caledonian and North British Railways through to the appearance of Caledonian MacBrayne in the early 1970s. This pictorial survey uses the colourful and inventive publicity material of the principal companies involved in West Highland tourist traffic, such as the framed Puffers and the second car ferries used to keep inter-island traffic flowing.
Travel to the Western Highlands was once dependent totally on rail or sea travel and was often dirty and slow - it was common to be greeted by a flock of sheep on one of MacBrayne's steamers - and To Western Scottish Waters is an evocative trip down memory lane for those who remember the Royal Route and steamers such as the Columba and Grenadier or for those who travelled on the Kyle-Kyleakin ferry before the Skye bridge.
Robert Forsythe was born in Norfolk and was formerly the curator of the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine. He has been published in subjects as diverse as model railways and the poet W.H. Auden. He has lectured for the WEA and Open University. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
