If you follow the link to the flickr page (https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaputniq/42355255002/in/dateposted/) you'll find thumbnail links directly under the main picture to some of Andy Arthur's other artwork that you might find interesting.  I particularly like the maritime ones.

He also did versions of the Scottish rail map recently, taking out all of the Gaelic, Celtic or Scots words. A monoglot's railway map of the central and east Scotland - https://www.flickr.com/photos/kaputniq/28394382878/in/dateposted/

I really like Meadow of Quivering Aspen - any chance of keeping that one?

Yes but Waverley isn't remotely Scots or Gaelic or Celtic in the first place. It's much the same as if the L&SWR had named its Alton station "Alton Pemberley".

Ah, but strictly translated, that means Field of Quivering Sheep, taken from Welsh, I believe?

Quite so - Edward Waverley is not only English but Southern English at that. I did once mention this to my Maclaurin uncle-by-marriage: not a good move, him being a bouncer for the Kirk and all that. He got his revenge though; tempted south of the border for Hogmanay he insisted on beating our bounds (all quarter acre, surrounded by new housing) playing his infernal pipes. Dad lost his place on the Parish Council shortly afterwards. There are connections and inwardnesses here worthy of the good Sir Walter's pen.

Sounds like Fenland, but with kilts?

It is therefore classified as "other foreign Mumbo-Jumbo"

[Mad McCann]

It’s arguably reasonable to Class Waverley as an ‘adopted’ Scots placename, purely down to the efforts of Sir Walter Scott!

There’s only one Waverley station and Waverley route unless Australians know otherwise, and both (with the exception of the last ten miles of the latter) are most certainly in Scotland. :-)
