Early
Public and Private Transport in Scotland |
- Part 1: The
Stagecoach
The first attempt at establishing a stagecoach service in
Scotland occurred on 6th August 1678
- Part 2:
Transport In The Highlands
By 1800, some 122 years after
the Glasgow magistrates approved the first stagecoach service
between there and Edinburgh, there was still no transport of any
kind in the Highlands.
- Part 3: Inland
Waterways
The Caledonian, Crinan, Forth & Clyde, Monkland and Union
are known in every land the Scots have reached, and that is most of
them.
- Part 4: The
Arrival of the Steamboats
Many inventors had made brave attempts throughout the late 18th
century to power vessels by the use of steam, and in 1785 Patrick
Miller of Dalswinton, Dumfriesshire, experimented with small craft
of the double keel variety, and had a good measure of success.
- Part 5:
Vehicles in the Cities and Towns
City transportation, both public and private, was linked to two
things: financial success and the social round.
