Accross the UK there is over 15,000km of train tracks and over 2,000 stations you can travel to or from, featuring many scenic rail journeys and places to explore. A personal favorite of mine is the line between Glasgow/Edinburgh and Aberdeen, particuarly the section of line north of Dundee which features many nice small towns and coastal views.

Stonehaven Station

Some particular highlights along this section of line include

Aberdeen: Scotland's third largest city is commonly known as "The Granite City" . There are many attractions on offer in the city including the Duthie Park, many museums and galleries' and a funfair on the beach.

Aberdeen Beach

Aberdeen City Centre

Stonehaven: This is a small town approx. 20 mins by train outside of Aberdeen and has a small harbor area, many shops and restaurants. It is also possible to walk along the North Sea Coast to Dunnottor Castle from here.

There are many more highlights in Angus and Dundee along the route. Work is in progress to develop some accessibility information through my wider campaign networks and updates will be shared in due course. There is useful resources from Aberdeenshire
