Charlestown Branch
The Charlestown Branch started life as the Elgin Waggonway in 1792, later becoming the Charlestown Railway. The North British Railway bought the line and the harbour at the end of the line in 1863, although three years later it was partly abandoned. In 1894, the line was rebuilt and re-opened.

You now but wisdom, exile? Stand and live,
The dove has brought an olive branch to eat.”
