The Royal Scotsman

According to many travel writers, the best way to experience a country is by train, watching the landscapes unfold in the comfort of a railway carriage. In Scotland the Royal Scotsman train provides the best way to explore Scotland combining elegant Edwardian-style accommodation with modern service and convenience. Described as the most luxurious and prestigious train in the world, this is a dream travel experience and a must for the privileged luxury traveller.

Passengers on this luxury train are usually welcomed on board by a kilted bagpiper.  The Royal Scotsman carriages are painted maroon and cream in the traditional Pullman coach style and reflect an air of discreet hospitality and sophistication.  Each reservation includes aStateroom complete with double or twin beds, ensuite shower room with toilet and luxury toiletries as well as spacious accommodation containing wardrobe and dressing table.

The observation car is where most guests will relax and enjoy their morning coffee or afternoon tea. Furnished in Scottish Country house style with comfortable sofas and tartan clad armchairs this is where friendly conversation and talks from experienced tour guides will help enhance a fabulous Scottish itinerary on the West Highland Line to the isles or a romantic journey along the shores of Loch Long climbing up to Crianlarich and the snow-capped peaks of the highlands.                              

The full Scottish experience would not be complete without savouring the best of Scottish produce and the Royal Scotsman train delivers in style. Guests enjoy an innovative showcase of modern Scottish cuisine. This is a gastronomic voyage sampling Scottish regional specialities sourced along the way from specialist suppliers of smoked salmon, wild mushrooms, organic asparagus, Aberdeen Angus beef and the freshest of seafood. At Kyle of Lochalsh on the west coast fresh prawns, oysters and langoustines are delivered to the train straight off the boats … a gourmet’s delight!

Needless to say breakfast is also a gourmet feast of fresh fruits and juices, porridge with a tot of whisky or cream, a full Scottish breakfast, delicious omelettes or Arbroath smokies. What makes this breakfast so special is the view of mountains and glens, grazing sheep and glimpses of red deer as the train meanders through the Scotland landscape.

Considered to be one of the world’s top travel experiences combining breath taking vistas, luxury accommodation and gourmet dining, a vacation on the Royal Scotsman might be described as a fabulous house party on wheels.
