An early poster, focused more on highlighting just how far north in Scotland the railway extends, rather than the sights that travelers would encounter there. The four vignettes are used to promote two of the commercial properties owned by the railroad, the Palace Hotel and Cruden Bay, giving a nod to the crown by showing Balmoral Castle and just one glimpse of the gorgeous countryside in an image of Loch Park.
