Welcome to Edinburgh!

Where better to start your Scottish adventure than in the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh is one of the most historic and beautiful cities you’re ever likely to come across. Picturesque cobblestone streets, storied old pubs and ancient monuments give Auld Reekie its character, but it’s the people that bring the personality. You’ll discover this immediately with a warm welcome at our first hotel, where you’ll also get to meet your fellow travellers and settle down for a hearty group dinner.

From one iconic city to another, we leave Edinburgh via train this morning – don’t worry, we’ll be back for more – for Scotland’s largest town, Glasgow. Bigger, buzzier and imbued with a working spirit, this epic city has become one of the UK’s trendiest travel spots. You’ll take a tour to learn all about the city’s huge industrial heritage, vibrant cultural institutions and two iconic football clubs – Celtic and Rangers. You’ll get a further taste of Scotland at lunch, before heading out to Glengoyne Distillery for a soul-warming whisky tasting session – the ultimate Scottish welcome. Our hotel for the evening is on the spectacularly beautiful west coast, reachable via a stunning drive through the Trossachs National Park.

Today is an epic adventure in itself. After starting the day with a hearty breakfast you will enjoy scenic views on the way to Fort William. Once there we will board the famous Jacobite steam train (also known as Hogwarts Express). Unarguably one of the world’s greatest train journeys, this 42-mile stretch of track takes you past lochs, mountains and over the soaring Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by Harry Potter films, to the small fishing town of Mallaig. Once arrived, enjoy some free time to explore this charming village at your own pace. You will then take a 30-minute ferry ride from Mallaig to the Isle of Skye. After arriving on Skye, transfer to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle for a brief photo stop and continue your journey to Plockton where you will spend the night.

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll head out  to the Misty Isle. Embark on a boat tour to explore the stunning coastline and views of the Isle of Skye and breathtaking views of the famous Loch Coruisk, situated in the heart of the Cuillin Mountains. You will then enjoy a hike around Loch Coruisk, soaking the beautiful landscapes and natural surroundings. It’s then time to continue towards Inverness. Once in the city we’ll head to the Inverness Museum and Art Gallery for an expert-led tour of its all-thing-Highlands collection. You’ll then have the rest of the day free to explore the city at your own pace – check out the castle, for city-wide views, and take a walk along the River Ness.

We’re getting back on track today, as we take the train south from Inverness to Aviemore. This small town offers easy access to the ski slopes, glassy lochs and ancient woodland that make up the extraordinary Cairngorms National Park. We’ll spend the rest of the morning and the first half of the afternoon exploring on foot with a guided walk, before we hop back on the train to our final destination: Edinburgh. After checking into your hotel in the capital, you’ll have the evening to yourself.

Today is the last full day of this trip, so we’re going out on a high – literally, with an Insider-led tour of the Royal Mile. Tour over, you’ll have the rest of the day to see Edinburgh at your own pace – take a stroll in Princes Street Gardens, browse the Edinburgh Farmers Market and dip into the National Museum of Scotland. Just make sure you’re available to meet back up with the rest of the group in the evening for a farewell dinner – where we’ll swap highlights, and toast to what we hope has been a rail-y good time!

Размещение / проживание

Indigo York Place (Or Similar)

Found right in the heart of Edinburgh’s Unesco-listed centre, this charming boutique hotel is as full of character as the cobbled streets surrounding it. Feel right at home in the colourfully designed rooms, sip a wee dram in the bar and enjoy the city’s most iconic sights within a short walking distance.

Ballachulish Hotel (Or Similar)

This grand old building – tastefully modernised as a classy country hotel – serves up a classic slice of Scottish Highlands beauty. Sitting pretty on the waterfront, the hotel is surrounded by splendidly verdant hills rising from the glassy surfaces of deep Scottish locks. Enjoy views of Ballachulish Bridge, which separates Loch Leven and Loch Linnhe, from the Waterside Cafe or dine on seafood specialties in the aptly named Fish Restaurant. Either way, you’ll be well fed and ready to explore the stunning surrounds of Glencoe and the Scottish Highlands.

­

Plockton Inn (Or Similar)

This characterful family-run pub with rooms on the edge of Loch Carron epitomises Scottish hospitality. Rooms are simple but homely, with a nautical theme to the decor. Downstairs, the pub bar hums softly with local chit-chat, while the kitchen serves up fresh, locally-caught seafood. 

­

Craigmonie Hotel (Or Similar)

It’s hard to believe that you’re just minutes away from central Inverness when you’re in the quaint leafy surrounds of this storied old hotel, which dates back to 1880. Think country house vibes in the city, with a cosy bar to keep the cockles warm, and a free-to-use indoor pool and sauna, for that refreshing start to the day.

Please note that, while unlikely, the accommodation indicated may be subject to change (see T&C’s). On a rare occasion, alternative arrangements may be necessary – this may be due to a lack of availability at our preferred accommodation, or other reasons outside our control. We’ll do everything we can to prevent this from happening; however, in cases where it is unavoidable, we will use a similar standard of accommodation.

As of April 2, 2025, the United Kingdom has introduced the Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) for visitors from many countries, including the EU, USA, Canada, and Australia. This digital travel permit allows eligible travellers to visit the UK for tourism, business, short-term study, or permitted paid engagements for up to six months. The ETA is valid for two years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first, and is linked electronically to the traveler's passport. To apply, travellers can use the UK ETA app or the official GOV.UK website, providing personal details, passport information, a digital photo, and answering security questions. The application fee is £16, and decisions are typically made within three working days. It's essential to apply before booking travel, as airlines are required to check ETA approval before departure .
