A wonderful original vintage poster issued by British Railways promoting Scotland as a travel destination showing a painting by Jack Merriott featuring the Elgin Cathedral in Scotland.
Elgin Cathedral is a historic ruin in Elgin, Moray, north-east Scotland. The cathedral—dedicated to the Holy Trinity—was established in 1224 on land granted by King Alexander II outside the burgh of Elgin and close to the River Lossie.
This poster was issued for the North America market showing the text: "Information from principal travel Agents or British Railways Offices New York. Chicago, Los Angeles. Toronto and Vancouver".
In excellent condition.
