EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of travel in Scotland during the 1920s, as a Glasgow to Oban bus makes its way through the picturesque countryside. The double-decker bus, adorned with a "Glasgow Corporation Transport" sign, is a testament to the advancements in public transportation during this era. The crew, dressed in their smart uniforms, including the driver in his double-breasted coat and cap, and the conductor with his uniform and ticket book, exude a sense of professionalism and pride in their work. Passengers, both seated on the lower deck and standing on the upper deck, gaze out of the windows, taking in the breathtaking views of the Scottish landscape. The rolling hills, lush greenery, and quaint stone houses along the route are a stark contrast to the bustling city of Glasgow and the urban surroundings that the passengers have left behind. The bus passes through a small village or hamlet, with the name "Dumbarton" visible on a signpost in the distance. Other places along the route, such as Helensburgh, Arrochar, Crianlarich, and Dalmally, can be identified from the landscape and road signs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel was a more leisurely and communal experience. The Glasgow to Oban bus route, with its stunning scenery and rich history, remains a popular tourist destination today, attracting visitors from around the world who seek to explore the beauty and charm of Scotland.
