A Private Club Through the Scottish Highlands
Royal Scotsman carries a small house party from Edinburgh into the Highlands. Days may include castles, country estates, wildlife, whisky, or time outdoors. Evenings return to candlelit dining, a convivial Observation Car, and private en-suite accommodation.
The collection ranges from focused two-night escapes to seven-night grand tours. The right journey depends on the client’s interests, desired pace, activity comfort, season, and how much of Scotland should be seen by rail.
