Scottish Main Lines

Beattock to Carstairs

Including the Moffat, Wanlockhead, Peebles (CR) and Dolphinton (CR) branches

by Dennis Lovett

The climb north of Beattock through the Lowther Hills provided spectacular scenery for passengers and demanding work for those on the footplate. Four branch lines provided additional traffic. After Beattock Summit, the line followed the Clyde Valley to Carstairs where the lines to Scotland’s two largest cities diverged.
