Walking Britain's Lost Railways (2018)

Episode Overview

Rob Bell embarks on a journey to uncover the forgotten railway connecting Elgin to Portsoy, a vital link for the local fishing and whisky industries. The path leading to the scenic 'Scottish Riviera' of Lossiemouth once bustled with sherry barrels and a substantial fish haul along its surprisingly straight course. The charming docks still hint at the steel tracks that once stretched to the water’s edge. With assistance from local hikers, Rob is taken aback by the breathtaking view of the Spey Bridge. Here, the river teems with salmon, reflecting the area’s rich heritage.
