The Royal Scotsman
Welcome to the ultimate luxury train experience
Step aboard and be transported!
To step aboard The Royal Scotsman is to step into a different world. Here luxury, civility and gracious hospitality evoke gentler times; the romantic age of travel when getting there was as much fun as arriving.
It is an effortless way to experience Scotland in absolute luxury with just a few fellow train travellers, in an environment where you can give yourself over entirely to the care of the crew. With a maximum of only 36 guests aboard at any one time, you have plenty of space, time and encouragement to do as you please. Enjoy the company of others, sit idly with a good book or simply let the beauty passing by your window wash over you. On your rather special luxury journey, there'll be time enough to enjoy something a little more active.
The spectacle of Scotland's great wilderness does take the breath away. Seen from the comfort of the train's Observation Car, the contrasts of the changing landscape are magnified a hundredfold, across sweeping glens, past towering peaks and black mirrored lochs.
On The Royal Scotsman nothing is too much trouble. From the moment the piper welcomes you aboard in Edinburgh, to the moment you return to this historic city, you'll be in the very best of hands, on the very best of trains.
