Waverley Station, Edinburgh.
A clansman in full regalia pipes you aboard The Royal Scotsman. Edwardian elegance on the rails. World's most exclusive train. Mahogany, overstuffed sofas and chairs, all the rare Scotch (or anything else you care to drink) with no tiresome chits to initial... and one of the best restaurants in Britain, moving or stationary. Forbes magazine calls it "a rolling palace of pleasure" with "a matchless combination of comfort and scenery."
Aboard The Royal Scotsman. Travel the Way It Used to Be. Western Highlands. 7 Days.
On a unique journey through the Scottish Highlands, travel the most beautiful rail routes you can imagine. Surround yourself in Edwardian elegance and utter luxury aboard The Royal Scotsman.
Begin your Scottish experience with a few days in Edinburgh, whose castle is the crown jewel of the Scottish crown (and, indeed, the Scottish crown jewels are kept within). Walk the Royal Mile, and get a history lesson en route.
Then board The Royal Scotsman and head for the hills—the Highlands, that is. We aim for Craigendoran, starting point of the West Highland Line. Past Arrochar, there’s Loch Lomond, then a climb up Glen Falloch and its cascades. At Spean Bridge, we stable for the night.
Take a romantic walk along the Morar Sands, then from Fort William, get spectacular views of Ben Nevis, Britain's highest peak. Meet Ray Owens, story 
spinner extraordinaire. He regales us with tales of heroes and villains and paints a clear picture of life in the Highlands. Just close your eyes and imagine…
Wemyss Bay leads us to the Isle of Bute for splendid seashore vistas, farmlands, forests, and a pretty, abandoned township.
Mount Stuart is Britain’s top Gothic house. Enjoy it inside and out—the unique gardens are delightful.
Back in Edinburgh, head home, or talk to us about seeing more of picturesque Scotland, including a bit of golf, if you please.
