The Buses of Dumfries and Galloway in Colour Photographs By

A 1948 holiday at Lendalfoot sparked an interest of soon-to-be bus enthusiast, John Sinclair. To this seven year old the Ayrshire coast was bleak but the Guy Arabs passing every two hours modern and colourful and the holiday much improved by sightseeing the Western SMT Girvan depot. Ten years later John began to visit Dumries and Galloway to observe and photograph the area's quirky collection of buses. This book contains a selection of John's photos, mainly from the 1960s, showing the variety of vehicles and operators still to be seen in Dumfries and Galloway at that time. Each image is accompanied by a detailed text outlining the history of the bus and operator featured.
