| Luxury Travel on the Royal Scotsman | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| A journey on The
Royal Scotsman is regarded as one of the great travel experiences. Considered
to be the world's most luxurious train, you will be joined by a maximum of just
35 other guests as you explore the magnificent scenery in Scotland, visiting places
unseen by most visitors. Enjoy exclusive visits to romantic castles, distilleries
and private homes. Feast on gastronomic delights, prepared onboard using the freshest
local ingredients and accompanied by fine wines, served in one of the two Dining
Cars. After dinner, relax with a rare malt in the stunning Edwardian Observation
Car as your very own Highlander regales you with stories of life in Scotland in
centuries gone by. Then, retire to your mahogany-adorned State Cabin, with private
facilities, for a peaceful night's sleep as The Royal Scotsman slips quietly into
a siding where it stables for the night. |
