Lost Tramways of Scotland: Scotland West by Peter Waller

Aside from Glasgow, which has featured in two volumes of the Lost Tramways series, there were a number of other tramways that served the west of Scotland. These included those that served the towns of Ayr and Kilmarnock, the north and south banks of the Clyde - reaching places like Dumbarton, Balloch, Greenock and Gourock - Rothesay on Bute and the industrial heartland of Lanarkshire to the south-east of Glasgow itself. All prospered for a period but changing fashions and the rise of the bus industry saw all disappear by the start of World War II.
