The Caledonian Railway

The Caledonian Railway

A four mile section of the Kinnaber to Brechin line, between Brechin and the Bridge of Dun forms the basis of this important fragment of Scotland's historic railways. Caledonian Railway's collection of classic steam and vintage diesel locamotives and coaches run a summer timetable of passenger trails between the original Victorian stations at Brechin and Bridge of Dun.Picturesque Victorian Brechin Station is itself the only remaining terminus of the Caledonian Branch line.

Today the four mile line transports passengers from the bustling town of Brechin to the peaceful depths of the countryside at Bridge of Dun, which was a regular stopping point for the Royal Train en route to Ballater.

With Catering facilities at Brechin & Bridge of Dun and a Gift Shop at Brechin, whether you're a railway enthusiast or a busy parent looking for a great day out for the family, try a visit to the Caledonian Railway.
