Summary
"With a 1860s-1914 perspective and centred on the West Highland Railway (which opened to Fort William in 1894 and to Mallaig in 1901) the book examines the late-19th century 'railway mania in the Highlands' - politics of promotion, controversy over state assistance, expectations and disappointments."--Jacket.
