Many of Scotland’s most striking colours and sights are found in The Cairngorms — home to Britain’s highest mountain range, ancient
Caledonian pine forests and numerous rivers and lochs. At its heart is the Rothiemurchus Estate, where visitors can enjoy country pursuits such as clay-pigeon shooting, hill walking, fishing and spotting birds, including the osprey in summer.
The story of Scotland’s past can be told through its many historic castles and houses, including 16th-century Ballindalloch Castle, beside the River Spey, and still the family home to the Macpherson-Grants. It has a fine collection of 17th-century paintings and a “single estate” distillery — the first of its kind in Scotland. Foulis Castle, seat of Clan Munro for more than 700 years, is a Georgian mansion overlooking the Cromarty Firth, while Glamis Castle, the childhood home of the Queen
Mother, is renowned as one of Britain’s most haunted castles.
Modern Scotland’s most successful export is whisky and the Strathisla Distillery, where the famed Chivas Regal is crafted, is one of the oldest in the Highlands. Little has changed since its founding in 1786, from the old cobbled courtyard to its distinctive pagodas. Striking architecture of a different kind is found at Glenfinnan, a pretty village at the northern end of Loch Shiel. Its magnificent 21-arch railway viaduct played a prominent role in the Harry Potter films and it is also where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard at the beginning of the Jacobite Rising.
Equally eye-catching is Kyle of Lochalsh, gateway to the Isle of Skye. The journey there is a picturesque ride past the Torridon Mountains, along Loch Carron to Plockton, whose nearby waters are home to wild seals.
A HIGHLAND ADVENTUREFrom snow-capped mountains to golden beaches, ancient castles
to vibrant cities, Scotland has so much to offer the traveller
belmond.com/royalscotsman
It may be a small country, but there is an incredible variety of landscapes from the lowlands to the Highlands. The perfect way to discover this land of unspoilt natural beauty is on board Belmond Royal Scotsman, which reveals all this and more on an unforgettable journey.
From the moment Belmond Royal Scotsman welcomes you on board with a traditional piper, you journey in comfort to discover a land of mountains
and rivers, castles and gardens and world-famous distilleries. All journeys aboard Belmond Royal Scotsman begin and end in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. The city is a wonderful blend of historic landmarks such as Mary, Queen of Scots’ former hideout, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and contemporary attractions, such as the world-famous Fringe festival, one of the largest and most dynamic arts events in Europe.
As soon as you step on board Belmond Royal Scotsman, our welcoming staff make you feel like part of the family. The train carries just 40 passengers in private en-suite cabins, each with a cabin steward available 24 hours a day. A typical day begins with a hearty breakfast, featuring such Scottish specialities as porridge or kedgeree, before the day’s activities. Traditional afternoon teas, cocktails,
candlelit dinners and ceilidhs are all part of the experience.
Lunch and dinner are taken in the two beautiful wood-panelled Restaurant Cars, Raven and Swift, where an unforgettable dining experience awaits. Our cuisine is expertly created and prepared by our chefs in the onboard kitchen, with menus featuring local, seasonal ingredients.
