Trailblazing Peterhead Prison railway line ferried criminals to a place of hard labour Updated: 08/01/2021, 2:54 pm © Supplied by Peterhead Prison Mus It was the first state-owned passenger-carrying railway in Britain; a product of Victoriana which ferried criminals to a place of hard labour in the north-east of Scotland. And although it is more than 50 years since the closure of the Peterhead Prison railway, a new exhibition is being organised to highlight how the route ran past such places as the Long John Distillery at Glenugie and the lost village of Burnhaven. The service, which was operational for the prison from 1888, ran between the Admiralty Yard  – which has become the location of the new HMP Grampian building – and the quarry, which was situated two-and-a-half-miles south of Peterhead.
