About the train
The Royal Scotsman rekindles the romance of rail travel. Departing from Edinburgh, this luxurious train offers 2- to 4-night journeys around the Scottish Highlands. Just 40 guests are accommodated in 10 sumptuous, Edwardian-style carriages. Rich in Scottish craftsmanship and têxtiles, they conjure up an intimate, country-house atmosphere. Fine dining is an important part of the experience, with the Executive Chef and team creating exquisite feasts based on local specialities. The train’s bar boasts over 60 whiskies, as well as fine wines and other local specialities, including the train’s own gin. Guests also enjoy one of the most unique spas in Scotland: the Bamford Haybarn Spa, a carriage transformed into a light, airy treatment space offering botanically inspired therapies.
Off-train adventures enhance every journey and include private visits to laird’s castles, whisky distilleries and wildlife-rich estates. Guests can also customise their trip with a range of activities, from wild swimming and kayaking to stargazing and golf. Evenings are rounded off with exhilarating onboard entertainment, such as Scottish storytelling or a lively ceilidh. Everything about our train is extraordinary - and we want you to be, too.
