The Pollock name is synonymous with the Scottish haulage business.
George Pollock started a local cartage business in 1935 in Corstorphine, Edinburgh. It grew steadily until 1949 when road transport was nationalised and the fleet became absorbed into British Road Services. However, when partial de-nationalisation took place in 1954, George took the opportunity to buy some of the vehicles and licences and set up his own business again, this time in Musselburgh. It was at this point that the famous turquoise, gold and red livery was introduced.
This model features all the authentic Pollock livery hallmarks including the individual vehicle name 'Braw Scot' across the front. Beneath the name, the Edinburgh and London depots with telephone numbers of the period are printed in gold. The cab doors feature the company name in gold with dropped shadow lettering below their signature tartan band. Further detail extends to the Pollock headboard above the windscreen, silver etched wipers, door handles, wheel hubs and footplate behind the cab. The Atkinson logo and wording is faithfully picked out on the radiator.
