The Majesty of Scotland aboard a Luxury Train

 If you’ve always wanted to see Scotland, then why not do it in style?  You deserve a once in a lifetime treat. 

  Head out to Waverley station in Edinburgh where a bagpiper wearing a kilt will escort you to one of the most luxurious means of travel - we’re talking about the Royal Scotsman train. 

Your experience will begin with a welcome cocktail on the observation car.  You’ll have ample time to settle into your elegantly decorated quarters featuring the best quality linens, a private bathroom and a call button for room service.  And don’t worry about missing out on something or sleeping soundly since the train sits motionless at night. 

As the train moves on through the Highlands, everyone will be able to enjoy the magnificent castles, the varieties in landscapes, the beauty of the countryside and the majesty of the coastline. 

In the dining car, guests can savor the region’s products in dishes creatively prepared by the most talented chefs in Britain.  Entrees include fresh caught seafood, shellfish, game and sublime Angus beef.  Each table is set with delicate tablecloths, exquisite china and top of the line silverware and crystal.  Champagnes and wines are paired to enhance every culinary specialty. 

You’ll be happy to know that the price for the journey includes daily meals and all drinks including alcohol, entertainment and excursions.  It’s advisable that you travel as light as possible and perhaps limit yourself to one suitcase and one carry-on-bag.  And don’t forget that on some evenings you’ll require formal attire.  When booking your reservation, inquire about transportation to and from the airport.    

When you disembark daily, you’ll have the opportunity to visit a number of very interesting places.  You can tour estates, attend a game at an ancestral home, learn to make a kilt and even watch how oysters are harvested.  You’ll stop in amazing destinations like Perth with its rich past or Keith where you can visit the oldest whisky distillery.  In Inverness, the castles and shops will capture your interest.  And of course, Edinburgh should not be missed.  Its Medieval and New Towns, outstanding restaurants, lively culture and historical sites will mesmerize you.
