In the last ten years, much more has been learned about Aberdeenshire’s fascinating bus operators.
Thanks to the digitisation of more Scottish newspapers and the availability of Aberdeen licensing records, a lot of new information on Aberdeenshire (historic Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire) transport history has become available and it has become clear that 19th century bus operations were much more extensive than previously thought.
New research undertaken by transport historian Dr Mike Mitchell adds to and corrects the history of Aberdeenshire operators in PSV Circle publication SAD1 he developed with Richard Gadsby and Ian Souter.
This new book based on original research is illustrated by many new photographs, most of them in colour, and is a wonderful evocation of a bygone era when you could literally “take a bus to anywhere.”
