Well known rail writer to join passengers on Tain to Dunrobin steam journey
Well known train fanatic and writer Julian Holland is to travel on the steam train making the journey from Tain to Dunrobin on May 12.
As a bonus for local people, operators Steam Dreams are allowing non-tour passengers on board The Cathedral Express, to experience the trip from Tain to Dunrobin, either as a single or return trip.
Mr Holland has recently published a book on the 150 best one day trips by rail - and Inverness to Dunrobin is there at number 150!
He will be signing copies of the book on the train and at Dunrobin Station and is happy to chat to passengers.
Daniel Brittain-Caitlin, who looks after Dunrobin Station on behalf of Sutherland Estates, tell us: “I’m absolutely thrilled that the well-known railway author Julian Holland is able to join us for the station open day.
“He has a great love of Scottish railways and has written a number of books on the subject as well as on Britain trains. He tells me he’s looking forward to spending time at this unique station and meeting fellow railway lovers.”
