Working Scottish Trucks Through the Lens

BKS HB

Working Scottish Trucks is a
photographic book bringing together
262 images of commercial vehicles
spotted across some of the most scenic
parts of Scotland. The beautiful
landscapes offer a fantastic backdrop
to the large range of haulage
companies based in this rural, rugged
and often difficult area. With just
one picture per page, this book
reproduces Ian Lawson’s perfectly
captured shots to maximum effect.

The images focus on 10 types of
vehicles – bulk transport,
curtainsiders, fridges and food,
general haulage, hay and straw, heavy
haulage, livestock transporters,
renewable energy transport, round
timber haulage and tankers. Each photo
is captioned with the date, location,
make and model of vehicle and details
of owner and types of work undertaken.


The distinctive and unashamedly
patriotic look of Scottish liveries
has always attracted a strong
following and so Working Scottish
Trucks is a must-have for transport
enthusiasts within Scotland, the UK
and beyond.

Ian Lawson has had a lifelong interest
in road transport and over the years
he has visited many haulage company
yards across the length and breadth of
the UK. Now retired from a career in
banking, he dedicates much of his
spare time to adding to his beautiful
photograph collection containing over
100,000 transport images that he
started back in 1986. His photographs
and features have been used in a
number of transport magazines
including Transport News, Truck &
Driver and Classic Truck.
