This British Railways booklet is in the same series as yesterday’s, and like yesterday’s is dated 1950. It covers the Scottish lowlands, which is basically Scotland south of Edinburgh. The cover says “Edinburgh,” but most of the booklet is about rural areas, smaller cities such as Peebles, and the ruins of abbeys such as Melrose and Kelso that were destroyed by order of King Henry VIII.

The painting of Edinburgh Castle on the cover (which, like yesterday’s, is the back cover) is not signed, but after reviewing more than 400 British railway posters shown on an art blog, I suspect it was by Charles Oppenheimer (1875-1961), whose landscape paintings, including this British Railways poster as well as a painting of Edinburgh Castle, are similar in style to this booklet’s cover. Born in Manchester, Oppenheimer studied at the Manchester School of Art. He then moved to Kirkcudbright, Scotland, which is just beyond the southwest corner of the map shown on page 11 of this booklet.
