The Royal Scotsman feels as if the Hogwarts Express has been converted into a five-star hotel. The elegant carriages feature very personal, luxurious cabins that provide the ideal retreat after an exciting day in the Highlands. Mahogany, tweed furniture, and Highland wool create a cozy atmosphere from the very first moment.

Whether you head to the panoramic carriage to admire the spectacular views of countless castles, fortresses, and gorges, or you prefer to let the wind blow in your face on the open-air veranda – a journey with the Royal Scotsman is an experience for all senses. The comfortable sofas and armchairs, into which you sink like into a cloud of cotton, are perfect for an aperitif or a delicious drink after dinner.
