Classic Round Scotland by Train

Classic Round Scotland by Train Overview

A holiday specially designed for travellers who want to experience authentic Scotland independently by rail. Your tour will include the classic West & North Highland railway lines, the Isle of Skye, Inverness and the Highlands, starts in Glasgow and ends in Edinburgh. From £1295 per person for 7 nights/8 days.

In these eco-aware times, many holidaymakers long to abandon the car; however grappling with Scottish train timetables and ferry charts is not for the faint-hearted. We have designed this holiday especially for ‘car-less’ travellers who want to experience authentic Scotland independently. With the help of short taxi transfers, you will even reach places beyond the end of the train line, such as the mythical Isle of Skye. All accommodation is carefully-chosen in small hotels and family-owned guest houses, with knowledgeable staff and management, so that you can truly experience the area like a local.
