EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Blast from the Past: The Dornoch Light Railway at Cambusavie, Embo, Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland" 2.. This evocative photograph captures a moment in time along the Dornoch Light Railway, nestled in the picturesque village of Cambusavie, Embo, in the historic town of Dornoch, Sutherland, Scotland. The image transports us back to a bygone era, as a steam-powered train chugs along the narrow-gauge track, leaving a trail of steam in its wake. The train, with its distinctive red and cream livery, appears small against the vast, open landscape, dotted with scattered trees and rolling hills. The station building, with its simple yet elegant design, stands proudly in the background, a testament to the railway's rich history. The scene is completed by the quaint wooden platform, where passengers would have waited for their journey to begin or end. The Dornoch Light Railway, which operated from 1894 to 1935, played a vital role in connecting the rural communities of Sutherland to the outside world, providing essential transport links for goods and people. Today, this enchanting snapshot serves as a reminder of a simpler time, when the rhythmic chugging of steam trains and the gentle sway of the carriages were the soundtrack to everyday life.
