  • Beneath vast mountains, across open moorland, and alongside shimmering locks, Scotland's Railways travel a landscape like no other. From coastal towns to historic cities, trains bring passengers to some of Britain's most iconic landmarks. This time, a treasured steam locomotive makes its last journey. The Union of South Africa was built in 1937 and the only member of the A4 class of street streamline steam locomotives still fully operational. This magnificent machine known as number nine to steam enthusiasts, will depart Edinburgh and journey north crossing the fourth bridge ,following Scotland's East coastal line to Aberdeen before winding her way back to Edinburgh shortly after sunset.

    Fantastic programme, so glad I stumbled onto it. My old Dad was a railfan through and through, and bequeathed his love of the rails to me. Our family was from Scotland a generation or two back, so seeing his beloved trains rolling through Scottish landscapes, so beautifully filmed as well, just warms my heart. Many thanks!

    Lovely video, my Maiden name is Bell and my Great Great Grandfather, John Bell emigrated from Paisley to Philadelphia in 1859. Unfortunately I will never get to see Scotland in person, since I will never fly again at my age, but I am able to watch some beautiful videos of Scotland.
    Thank you!

    Fantastic to see our South African emblem flying along Scotland's magnificent countryside. Pity we are still not the Union of South Africa. My late father worked in the railway sheds in Durban as a Fitter and Turner for the South African Railways.

    Its not over the top as we are not comparing railways. Remember please, it is a World Heritage Site, meaning there is a permanent preservation order on it, for the people of Scotland, the UK 🇬🇧 and the World. Long live the 🌉 🌁 ❤❤❤❤❤😊

    I've done Scotland by car a number of times, but never by rail. After watching this, I'm hoping I'll be able to do it one last time.... by rail as I'm 69 in a couple of months and I'm now living in Indonesia....

    Just a beautiful journey and the history was so interesting. We loved the trains in the UK as we had an extended stay in Edinburgh and a 22 day first class pass so Waverley Station became our home station. Thank you for this wonderful video.

    There are other beautiful ones as well. This is lovely.
    The steam engine train in Durango, Colorado is a beautiful ride in Western Colorado.
    I loved it when we were eating dinner riding through Whitefish, Montana.

      absolutly. I'm interested in train travel, and my friends told me a way to get bigger discounts for rail trips.

    Running out of water ? The engine will NOT explode. The fusible plug in the firebox crown will melt. The boiler water will put out the fire. Serious but not fatal.

    Yes, it's a hard one but that's life on the farm/ croft.
    As for the children, they're being brought up to understand that life's decisions can be tough but that is what they are. I likewise found it really difficult to watch him being loaded up, and I was telling him to make a run for it. Then I put my big girl hat back on.
