Sample images from the DVD Scottish Bus and Coach Memories 1906 - 2006 How many of you can remember catching or taking a trip on one of these beautiful old buses, trolley buses or coaches. All aboard as we catch a bus from Buchanan Street or Waterloo Street Bus Station reliving scenes and routes of these old buses and trolley buses around Glasgow City centre, West End and more during the past 70 years. No journey would have been complete without the infamous ticket “clippie” of course. “Scottish Bus and Coach Memories” provides an absolutely fascinating insight into the development of public transport across Scotland during the last 100 years. Using preserved material and rare footage we want to share and enjoy the experience of these classic vehicles as they were in service rather than in a museum. From the earliest days of the horse drawn coach to the luxury coaches of today. Discover Scottish Motor Transport (SMT) Company’s earliest vehicles and the numerous private operating companies including Alexanders, MacBrayne, Grey Line, Western and their fabulous range of makes and models of early bus vehicles over the last 100 years. Covering bus and coach operators within Western, Central and Eastern Scotland and the Highlands and Islands we experience directly the history and changes within both rural and urban services. Take a nostalgic journey back in time departing from Glasgow, Clydebank, Inverness, Edinburgh, Largs, Dunoon, Ayr, Rothesay, Oban, The Isle of Skye and many more destinations shared with you in unique rare film archive footage that includes a very rare glimpse of a coach party arriving to take a cruise on the “Gypsy Queen” moored at Port Dundas on the Forth and Clyde Canal. Whether you are a transport enthusiast or simply want to recall and relive these wonderful vehicles, journeys and places then you are certain to find something of interest here in this wonderful window into Scotland’s rich past. https://youtube/watch?v=hEL2EFirZa4&index=1&list=FLeCs1YqqFrDsfPJUaScK2Wg Narrated by Ian Anderson BBC Scotland Running time 56mins Click below to view a sample trailer of this DVD here To order and for more information on this and other unique Scottish history DVD titles go to videohistoryscotland
