Belmond Royal Scotsman Western Scenic Wonders with Edinburgh, the Highlands, and the Isle of Skye

8-day Scottish Highlands trip with 3 nights aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman

Railbookers operates this 8-day, 7-night independent rail package through the Scottish Highlands, built around the Belmond Royal Scotsman. The trip begins in Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital, before travelers board the 5-star Belmond Royal Scotsman for three nights, with onboard and off-board entertainment and exclusive experiences included. Once the train returns to Edinburgh, the trip continues north to Inverness for a day trip to the Isle of Skye. Because this is sold as an independent rail package rather than a fully escorted tour, some of the days outside the train portion are left for you to manage. This trip suits travelers drawn to a named luxury train experience combined with a shorter, focused look at the Scottish Highlands, including history-minded travelers interested in Edinburgh and Inverness. Railbookers has not published a full day-by-day itinerary for this package, so exact hotel nights and the mode of transport for the Inverness to Skye day trip are not specified here.
