ON THIS DAY IN 1722 …
William Dickson, wright in Cockenzie, began constructing the first railway in Scotland.

7th May 2026 marks 304 years since the first rails were fabricated by Dickson for use in building the Tranent - Cockenzie Waggonway. Dickson’s work on the waggonway would last at least 20 years, with various phases of repairs and upgrades to the line and maintenance of rolling stock following the initial construction phase.
