Independent 10-day rail trip from London through the Highlands to Skye

Railbookers sells Scottish Highlands and the Isle of Skye from London as an independent 10-day, 9-night train journey. The trip starts in London with a walk across Abbey Road and a stop to watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, then heads north to Inverness, which the evidence calls the gateway to the Scottish Highlands. From there the route continues to the Isle of Skye, including a visit to Eilean Donan Castle, before returning through Inverness to Edinburgh, where the trip takes in a stroll through the medieval Old Town, and finally back to London. With walking tours built into both the London and Edinburgh stops, this suits travelers who want a highlights-driven rail trip through Scotland bookended by classic London sightseeing.
