The secret of The royal Scotsman's success is the service guests receive. So attentive is it that all you have to do is simply arrive, unpack and relax. Everything else is taken care of. You can even leave your wallet or purse tucked safely away, as all meals, drinks, entertainment and excursions are included.

PURE RELAXATION; NATURAL SPLENDOUR
On The Royal Scotsman, you'll find total relaxation is achieved with remarkable ease. The Observation Car is an Edwardian masterpiece of refined, relaxed elegance. Here, you can relax on a large sofa or comfortable armchair, and take in the ever-changing scenery outside your window. If you'd like to get even closer to Scotland's natural beauty, the verandah at the rear of the train is an exhilarating spot to catch the air as it swishes gently past.

YOUR OWN HAVEN OF LUXURY
The Royal Scotsman is often described as the finest country house hotel, on wheels. It's an accolade that you'll happily agree with as you turn in for the night. Each State Cabin, whether twin or single, is beautifully decorated in rich mahogany with delicate marquetry. In your own private bathroom, you'll find a plentiful supply of fluffy white towels and elegant toiletries, as well as constant hot water for your shower and hand basin. A good night's sleep is assured by the nightly stabling of The Royal Scotsman in a quiet siding or station.

'Plush beds and opulent bathrooms are the order of the day'

With a variety of individual tours to enjoy, it won't be long before you're planning your next trip aboard the most luxurious train in the world.
