Wick and Lybster Light Railway.
By Iain Sutherland

On the 1st July 1903 there were approximately 500,000 miles of railway track in the world……………..
Of that total 13 miles 3 furlongs and 9 chains would it’s way past the farms,crofts and heath that lay on the eastern seaboard of Caithness between Wick and Lybster…………..

Mosser - That is roughly what Iain Sutherland opens his Book with.

I have not yet read the Scots Magazine, I’ll get mine third hand, in a few months time. But I do look forward to it.
