LOST TRAMWAYS OF SCOTLAND: SCOTLAND WEST (HB)

There were a number of 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.
