Edinburgh & Loch Lomond Journey

Sleeper train and Scottish cities from London, five days on rails and foot

Marvellous Escapes' Edinburgh and Loch Lomond Journey is a five-day tailor-made rail holiday that begins with an overnight voyage on the Caledonian Sleeper from London to Edinburgh. You settle into a sleeper cabin, dine aboard the train, and wake in Scotland refreshed. Three nights follow in an Edinburgh hotel with breakfast included. The core of the trip balances guided and independent time: day two opens with a hop-on-hop-off bus tour of Edinburgh, allowing you to visit Edinburgh Castle, walk the Royal Mile, or explore at leisure. Day three is a full excursion into the Scottish interior, traveling to Linlithgow Palace (birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots), Loch Lomond for a walk and lake cruise, through the Trossachs, and to Stirling Castle before returning to Edinburgh. Day four offers a full second day on your own to revisit favourite spots, visit the National Galleries of Scotland, or pursue sites linked to Sir Walter Scott. The return to London is unguided, though you may book an overnight Caledonian Sleeper journey home or extend your travels to another UK city. This itinerary suits couples and repeat rail travellers drawn to Scottish history and castle visits, with room for personal exploration.

Price history

Across 5 checks, this price has held at £899 every time.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 2 of 5 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

What to know before you look closer

The return journey on day 5 is unguided; you arrange your own travel back to London or extend by rail through the Travel Designer service.
The itinerary does not specify which nights the return sleeper journey occurs; confirm with Marvellous Escapes whether the overnight journey home is included at the stated price.
