Western Scenic Wonders

The train departs Edinburgh in the early afternoon and heads west through Falkirk, reaching Craigendoran, the starting point for the West Highland Line.

Enjoy an indulgent afternoon tea and look out for a first glimpse of Loch Lomond. After climbing up the waterfall-rich Glen Falloch, the train continues north to the village of Spean Bridge for the night.

Enjoy a splendid informal dinner and entertainment in the Observation Car.

As the train continues west, passing through Fort William, don’t miss the views of Ben Nevis.

Disembark at Arisaig, for a stroll along the gleaming Morar Sands marvelling at the views of the Isle of Skye's majestic Cuillin Mountains.

Lunch is served as the train retraces its route back to Fort William, the largest town in the West Highlands.

After lunch, our local guide accompanies you to Glenfinnan Monument to explain the area's history before tea at Inverlochy Castle. Energetic guests can choose instead to walk through Spean Glen passing the ruins of High Bridge and returning along the River Spean.

Afterwards, enjoy a nightcap whilst listening to the evening entertainment in the Observation Car.

Today's destination is the charming Isle of Bute. The island is rich in geology, history and wildlife, with a varied landscape.

Return to Wemyss Bay where a formal dinner is served while on the move to Kilmarnock, our stabling location this evening.
