Train at Caledonian Station, Princes Street, Edinburgh, c.1900

See Scotland by Train

See Scotland by Train provides the first chance to see National Museums Scotland’s beautiful collection of Scottish railway posters.

These striking works of art reflect the changing tastes and needs of the rail passenger over the last 100 years, giving a flavour of what it meant to travel by rail. They depict some of the most dramatic and scenic locations around Scotland.

You can now see highlights from the exhibition in our See Scotland By Train online exhibition.

Find out what visitors had to say about the exhibition here.
