Highland Omnibuses was founded in 1952 as part of the state-owned
Scottish Bus Group that operated services throughout Scotland. The
company was created from the merger of Highland Transport, Macrae & Dick
and Alexanders Town Services and from its base in Inverness ran services
throughout the Highlands, from Thurso and Wick in the far north through
Fort William to Oban in the south, and west to Kyle of Lochalsh and the
ferry to Skye. Highland Omnibuses operated the majority of services, but
MacBraynes (although primarily a ferry company) were also involved, as
were smaller independent companies. In this unique collection of images
taken almost entirely by the author and dating mostly from the 1960s and
1970s, when Highland Omnibuses was at its peak, John Sinclair provides a
window into the past of the isolated communities served by these buses
as well as many photographs of the stunning Highland landscapes.
