From breakfast as the train travels through the Highlands to celebratory dinners in the dining carriages, each meal is a way to experience Scotland and the produce of its regions.

A journey aboard the Royal Scotsman is defined as much by the people as by the places. From the resonant sound of bagpipes welcoming guests on board to the attentive service of our stewards, Scottish hospitality is part of every journey.

Throughout the journey, a dedicated guide travels with you, accompanying each excursion, sharing stories of Highland life, history and traditions along the way. Back on board, Wh**ky Ambassador Sylwia leads evening tastings in the Observation Car, sharing her knowledge of Scotland’s wh**ky heritage over a dram.

It’s the people on board who make the Royal Scotsman more than a journey through Scotland, creating an experience shaped by the country’s hospitality, traditions and people.

For more than 40 years, the Royal Scotsman has travelled through the Scottish Highlands. The train’s claret carriages nod to the maroon liveries once reserved for Britain’s most prestigious express trains. Set against the greenery of the Highlands, the train evokes the golden age of travel.

Today, journeys range from two to seven nights, travelling along heritage single-track railways through the Highlands, from the Highland Line to the Wild West Coast.

On board, Scottish hospitality is at the heart of the journey. From the welcome of our stewards to celebratory dinners in the dining carriages and drams of local wh**ky in the Observation Car, every detail brings the traditions of rail travel to life.
