Illustration of The Outer Hebrides & the Highlands

Great Rail Journeys operates this escorted tour through two of Scotland's most remote and celebrated regions: the Outer Hebrides and the Scottish Highlands. The trip features travel on the West Highland Line and the Jacobite steam train, two of the UK's most famous railway routes. Because Great Rail Journeys publishes no detailed itinerary, day count, accommodation list, or meal plan for this package, you will need to contact the operator directly to learn the full structure of the tour, how many nights you will spend in each location, which hotels are included, and what meals are provided. The tour is escorted, meaning a guide will be with your group throughout. This tour suits repeat rail travellers who want to experience celebrated British train journeys in the company of a professional guide.
