Scotland is a land to explore,
a majestic land of moors and mountains, of crystal streams and mist-shrouded
castles, ancient clans and tartans, home to golf and salmon fishing,
malt whisky and a warm welcome. For the discerning traveller nothing
can compare to a tour
aboard the luxurious Royal Scotsman.
This exclusive country house hotel on wheels provides a private
haven for just 36 passengers, offering a revival of the romantic
age of railway travel, combining Edwardian splendour with modern
luxury. From the moment a kilted piper welcomes you aboard in Edinburgh,
to the steward who brings an early morning cup of tea, the attentive
crew takes pride in ensuring that your every need is met. The food
and wine is
considered to be amongst the very best, with formal dining on board
the epitome of elegance and style. Luxurious state cabins each have
their own private facilities, and at night the train is always stationary,
ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Choose from the 4-night 'Classic' tour, 2 night 'Caledonian Retreat',
or activity-based 'Highland Fling' or, alternatively, the whole
train can be chartered and taken anywhere in Britain. In this way
it can be used as a mobile hotel for shooting parties or similar
events. The days are filled with interesting visits and activities
but there is also time to relax, to sit back and enjoy the ever
changing scenery, the picturesque villages, or simply to enjoy a
drink and chat with new friends from around the world.
