About the event

"The Quintinshill Rail Disaster - 22 May 1915".
David Carter will examine the events surrounding the notorious multi-train rail crash at Quintinshill Junction, near Gretna, when a southbound troop train carrying territorials of the Leith based 1/7th Royal Scots slammed into a local service.
