EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1930s takes us on a journey through the enchanting landscapes of the Scottish Highlands. The poster, created for the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS) and MacBraynes Steamers, entices travelers to embark on a cruise along the majestic Caledonian Canal.

Monks gracefully stroll through manicured grounds as water shimmers in the foreground, reflecting their serene presence. Towering mountains and lush fields frame this idyllic setting, immersing viewers in Scotland's breathtaking beauty. The Caledonian Canal itself is an engineering marvel crafted by Thomas Telford during its ship canal days. While originally designed for cargo transportation, it later became a haven for pleasure craft seeking leisurely voyages through these awe-inspiring surroundings. Tom Gilfillan's masterful artwork captures every detail with precision and artistry while John Horn Ltd expertly brings it to life in Glasgow and London. This evocative image not only beckons adventure-seekers but also serves as a testament to Scotland's rich history and natural wonders. As part of National Railway Museum's collection, this print preserves an era when travel posters were works of art themselves – enticing spectators with glimpses into extraordinary destinations like the Caledonian Canal in all its glory.
