Journey description:
The journey by train from Glasgow to Dundee has three distinct phases.
(1) Once the train has escaped from Glasgow, over to the left the landscape is dominated by the hills which straddle the horizon. a preview of what's to come.
(2) Between Stirling and Perth the railway passes through those hills.
(3) Then the railway line is on the north bank of the River Tay between Perth and Dundee; so the views of the river are over to the right.
