Embark North with this luxury train journey in Scotland aboard the famous Belmond Royal Scotsman. Head to the highlands in pure, unrivalled luxury and spend five days exploring some of the magical lights at the top of the country. As you glide through the glorious Scottish countryside, take in the sights before arriving at Keith, followed by Spean Bridge, Fort William and the Isle of Bute before returning back to Edinburgh. A round trip that takes you to some of the sights you must see in your lifetime that include Glenfinnan Monument, Mount Stuart and The Royal Yacht Britannia.
After a day’s excursion, return back to the Belmond Royal Scotsman for an evening of dining delights. Indulge in multiple courses, prepared fresh by our talented chefs, complimented by any drink you desire from a well-stocked bar of complimentary beverages. Sink back into a luxurious armchair and admire the finely polished woods and authentic Scottish wool fabrics that make up an unrivalled luxurious environment for you to enjoy as you watch the Scottish landscape float by. As day turns to night, retire to your very own accommodation where you are greeted by yet more luxurious touches and your very own en suite.
