Dundee had one of the earliest railway systems in Scotland (dating from the 1830s), and by the early 1900s could boast a complex network of lines serving virtually every town and village in Angus and Kincardineshire. At date of publication there are just eleven functioning stations left in the two counties, although passengers can take a nostalgic ride on the preserved steam railway between Brechin and the Bridge of Dun. Archival photographs accompanying Gordon Stansfield's informative text include Laurencekirk, Marykirk, Drumlithie, Newtyle, Baldovan and Downfield, Lochee West, Colliston, Leysmill, Crathes, Brechin, West Ferry, Elliot Junction, Lunan Bay, Portlethen, Justinhaugh, Tannadice, Dundee East and West, Edzell, Barnhill, Johnshaven, St Cyrus, Kirriemuir, Forfar, Guthrie, Auldbar Road, Dubton, Hillside and Newtonhill.
