When you travel on the Royal Scotsman, it's as if you've traveled back in time. With tours from two to eight days, there are six glorious tours from which to choose. The shorter tour is great if you're already traveling Europe and want to spend a little time in Scotland. You'll get to see more of the land by train. The longer tour enables you more time to explore more of the beautiful country.
The Royal Scotsman tours combine the beauty of the country, like the Scottish Highlands, botanical gardens, and coastal beaches along with a rich cultural heritage. You'll get to see romantic castles, such as Cawdor, the one made famous by Macbeth. You'll also get to visit some of the greatest Victorian homes in England.
The overall tone of the Royal Scotsman tours is a quiet and gentle vacation. You will be treated to wonderful afternoon teas while riding by beautiful and peaceful scenery, and you'll sleep quietly as the train stops during the night.
