On arrival into Inverness you will have time to explore the busy City of Inverness with its many attractions and eateries or sample a dram in a local pub. However you choose to spend your time, this relaxed and enjoyable rail tour offers a wonderful way to travel creating memories that will last long after the journey ends.
Our journey begins in Linlithgow with easy connections by ScotRail from Edinburgh/Glasgow and Stirling. Once we have departed we will travel to Inverkeithing, a convenient boarding location with a large free car park and easy access from the M90. On our way there we cross the magnificent Forth Bridge â?? a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Scotland's most recognisable landmarks. This iconic Victorian engineering masterpiece is always a highlight, offering breathtaking views across the Firth of Forth and an unforgettable sense of history.
Our next pick-up is the busy town of Kirkcaldy before we arrive at Ladybank. Our final pick up point is the City of Perth with its impressive station building dating from 1848.
Our train North departs Perth and follows the River Tay to Dundee before running alongside the Grampian coastline to Aberdeen, offering some breathtaking views of the North Sea. At Aberdeen our train continues on its journey to Inverness going 'across the top' and passing through Keith and Elgin. For the Whisky connoisseurs we pass a number of popular distilleries on route to Inverness.
We hope to be able to provide at least 2 hours of free time in Inverness, allowing plenty time to experience everything that the Highland Capital has to offer.
After our break in Inverness we head back south but this time our locomotive must tackle the demanding Highland Main Line with its steap inclines to Slochd Summit and Drumochter Summit, the highest point on the UK Rail network. As we head south you will be able to sit in comfort and take in some of the most breathtaking railway journeys Scotland has to offer.
