Royal Scotsman, Scotland, UK
Airing Date: Sep 18th, 2006
What better way to see the sights of Scotland than aboard 'The Royal Scotsman'? This is one of the world's most luxurious train journeys and it runs across some of Scotland's most amazing countryside.
The atmosphere on board 'The Royal Scotsman' is reminiscent of a private country house party. The changing landscapes can be admired from the lounge or open veranda of the Observation Car, traditional Scottish fare can be enjoyed in one of the two dining cars or guests can simply unwind in their en-suite State Cabin.
The Edwardian atmosphere of The Royal Scotsman's Observation Car provides the perfect backdrop to a luxury rail holiday. Its many windows give a panoramic view of the constantly changing scenery, which may be enjoyed from the comfort of the interior or from the open verandah.
The Sleeping Cars provide 16 twin and 4 single State Cabins, fitted out in rich marquetry. All cabins have lower beds, dressing table, full-length wardrobe, hairdryer, individually controlled heating, cooling ceiling fans, opening windows and cabin service call button.
Each cabin has its own private bathroom with shower, wash-basin and toilet, constant hot water, high quality toiletries and fresh white towels replaced every day. With the train stabled at night in a quiet siding or station you are assured a good night's sleep.
The train operates seasonally, with the 2006 season starting on 2 May and running until 28 October. All journeys start and end at Edinburgh Waverley Station and range from the one night 'Wee Dram' to the seven night 'Grand North Western'.
