The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) and London, Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) joined forces to create this stunning poster that now stands as a testament to their efforts. The focal point of this artwork is an exquisite illustration of Rob Roy, the legendary Scottish folk hero and outlaw who lived from 1671-1734. Dressed in traditional Highland attire, complete with a kilt and tartan pattern, he exudes strength and resilience.
