Preshome

Approaching site of Enzie station in Burn of Tynet valley Believe it or not, a branch of the Highland Railway was built in 1885 along this valley from Keith to Portessie, on the border between Morayshire and Banffshire. It carried no traffic after August 1915, but the line was not taken up until 1937. So I had to take this photograph, in the pouring rain in the back of nowhere.
