Travel Guide

Low tide at the waterfront of the coastal village of Johnshaven, Scotland. The flax industry, sailmaking and fishing have historically been an integral part of the life and economy. #LikeALocal #OnTheRoad

Site of former Johnshaven station, 2002. View eastward from New Road bridge, towards Inverbervie: ex-NBR Montrose - Inverbervie branch. The station was probably behind me: it and the line (parallel to Back Road) were closed to passengers 1/10/51, to goods not until 23/5/66. The track-bed seems to have been restored for recreational purposes.
