Lines Lost

First, the industry must be of a size and pattern suited to modern conditions and prospects. In particular, the railway system must be modeled to meet current needs.
Harold Macmillan

Stuart McAdam came to Huntly in Summer 2013 from Glasgow.

Stuart's Lines Lost project was triggered by the infamous railway cuts which saw train tracks closed as a result of Dr Richard Beeching's recommendations 50 years ago. Through a series of performative walks with all kinds of people along the former Portsoy to Huntly route, McAdam's aim was to bring into focus the historic and contemporary concerns surrounding our transport legacy.
