About this

The Royal Scotsman is a luxury train that travels through Scotland's Highlands and countryside on seven-night journeys from Edinburgh, stopping at sites like the Cairngorms National Park, Spean Bridge, and the Kyle of Lochalsh. Passengers stay in private cabins with en-suite bathrooms, dine on regional Scottish cuisine prepared by onboard chefs using local ingredients, and join guided excursions such as castle tours, whisky tastings, and hikes along coastal paths or moorlands. Routes cover varied terrain including glens, lochs, and historic railways, with observation cars providing views of the landscape.
