Day One: Edinburgh - Boat of Garten
Departing Edinburgh in the early afternoon, the first leg of this spectacular journey takes you west to Stirling, onwards past the world-famous golf resort of Gleneagles to Perth, then north into the dramatic scenery and sparkling mountain air of the Highlands. Travelling through Pitlochry and Blair Atholl, whose magnificent castle can be glimpsed once out of the station, you may also spot red or roe deer from the window. After the breathtaking journey you arrive at Dalwhinnie, ready for a tour of the highest distillery in Scotland – and a sample of the 'gentle spirit' of the glen. Back on the train, stabled at Boat of Garten, indulge in a sumptuous informal dinner and a night of entertainment courtesy of Highlander and raconteur Ray Owens.
Day Two
After breakfast, you are taken by coach to the historic estate of Rothiemurchus for a taste of wild Scotland. At the heart of the Cairngorms National Park, Rothiemurchus offers a magical setting in which to try outdoor pursuits such as clay pigeon shooting or hill walking. Rejoin the train at Aviemore and enjoy a delicious lunch as you pass Culloden, the site of the last battle to be fought on mainland British soil, in 1746. You then continue east to Elgin and alight to visit Johnston's Woollen Mill, which specialises in the finest cashmere. A formal dinner is served on board as you journey south from Keith to Dundee, where the train stops for the night.
Day Three:
A journey south through the former Kingdom of Fife awaits, including the chance to see the magnificent Forth Railway Bridge up close as you return to Edinburgh.
