Rothesay tram No. 3 at Ettrick Bay by Frederick McLean Via Flickr: An old photograph of Rothesay and Ettrick Bay Light Railway car No. 3 at Ettrick Bay on the Isle of Bute, Scotland. The photo reverse is stamped as it having been taken by (and/or the original neg is owned by) C. Carter. No. 3 was built in 1902 by the Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works Ltd. seating 32+18 (32 on its crossbench seats and 9 in each of the two end saloons) and running on Brill 22E reversed maximum traction bogies. From 1901 (electrified in 1902) until 1914 the tramway was owned by British Electric Traction, and from 1914 until the tramway closure in Sep 1936 it was controlled by the Scottish General Transport Co. who from 1932 had a name change to the Western Scottish Motor Traction Co. 📷 Any photograph I post on Flickr is an original in my possession, nothing is ever copied/downloaded from another location. 📷 ------------------------------------------------- If there are any errors in the above description please let me know. Thanks. Any photograph, ephemera, etc I post on Flickr is in my possession, nothing is copied from another location. The original photographer may have taken copies from their original negative and passed them out (sold them?) so there may be other copies out there of your (and my) 'original' transport photo, although occasionally there may be 'holiday snaps' type photos where there are not any other photos exactly the same in existence. If you wish to use this image (bearing in mind it may not be my copyright) or obtain a full size version (most of my uploads are small size) please contact me.
