Discover the historic city of Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands on a 3-day rail tour from London.
Discover the wild, untamed beauty of the Scottish Highlands on a 3-day adventure from London. Explore the city of Edinburgh, where a sense of history is around every corner, before heading off to experience the dramatic scenery and the Loch Ness Monster.
Begin your Scottish adventure at London King's Cross Station. Receive your return train tickets, entry tickets to Edinburgh Castle, and hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tickets.
In a little over 4.5 hours, arrive in the Scottish capital ready to begin a day of exploration. Known by locals as 'Auld Reekiue' ('Old Smokey'), Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful and memorable cities in all of Europe - a city full of charm and character with history around every corner.
Your Rail Tour includes entrance to the mighty Edinburgh Castle, a 1,100-year-old fortress built on Castle Rock, a long-extinct volcano. Explore the long, bloody history of the castle, from its time as a military fortress, royal residence, and prison of war.
Walk in the footsteps of famous Scottish kings and queens as you ascend castle hill, and see the Stone of Destiny, also known as the Stone of Scone. For centuries, this sacred object has been used in the coronation of Scottish, and later British, monarchs.
Board your Hop-on Hop-off Guided Bus Tour and journey around some of the finest and culture-rich destinations in Edinburgh. The Tour takes you to 14 fantastic locations including Grassmarket, a historic market place with incredible views of Edinburgh Castle, John Knox House, a magnificent medieval building dating back to the 15th century and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, The Queen’s official residence in Edinburgh. The ticket is valid all day so you can hop on and hop off as many times as you like.
Enjoy a fantastic full-day guided adventure in the Highlands, visiting mysterious Loch Ness, where you can go monster spotting. Heading north from Edinburgh, pass the imposing ramparts of Stirling Castle, skirt the Trossachs (Rob Roy country) before crossing the wilds of Rannoch Moor and onto dramatic Glencoe.
The tour takes you past Fort William and Britain’s highest mountain, the mighty Ben Nevis before following the Great Glen and stopping in the village of Fort Augustus by the shores of the mysterious Loch Ness. Take a boat trip on Loch Ness, explore, or simply relax in a gorgeous wee Highland village. Enjoy a free locally produced picnic lunch.
The return journey passes through ‘Monarch of the Glen’ country, south to Perthshire and the historic town of Dunkeld. Then, view the spectacular Forth Bridges before arriving back in the Capital around 8:00 PM.
You'll have until mid-afternoon to explore the higgledy-piggledy medieval streets and courtyards of Old Town, admire the beautiful Georgian architecture found in New Town, or head to Carlton Hill for stunning panoramic views of the city. Ascend Castle Hill as you walk in the footsteps of famous Scottish kings and queens, and see the 'Stone of Destiny'.
