Royal Scotsman
An intimate sleeper train through the Scottish Highlands, carrying no more than 36 guests.
The Royal Scotsman tours the Scottish Highlands from Edinburgh, with no more than 36 guests on board. Journeys range from two to seven nights, through glens, lochs and coastline. Days include visits to castles, distilleries and estates. Evenings are spent in the observation car, which has an open-air platform and a bar with a long whisky list.
A Dior Spa carriage offers treatments on board, and new suite carriages are due in April 2027. With so few guests, the train feels like a country house on rails. Dining focuses on seasonal Scottish produce, served in two dining cars.
