Highland Rail Voyager

DAY 1

For those booking our rail inclusive package, we travel by train through Scotland and climb high into the mountains along the glorious Highland Line through Stirling, Perth, and Aviemore to the city of Inverness. Our hotel for the next three nights is the Mercure Inverness, located just a short walk from the station.

DAY 2

A highlight of your Railtrail holiday - travelling by train on one of the world’s finest coast-to-coast railway adventures to the Kyle of Lochalsh, immortalised in Sir Michael Palin’s original "Great Railway Journeys of the World" TV series. We board the train in Inverness and travel along the whole of this spectacularly scenic line. As the train nears its destination, you are rewarded with dream-like vistas across the loch to the Cullin Hills on the Isle of Skye. Upon arrival into Lochalsh, we make our way to the Lochalsh Hotel for a light lunch, taking in the views, before making the return journey.

DAY 3

A free day to enjoy at leisure in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands. Discover the many visitor attractions this ancient city has to offer including the Castle, Cathedral, and Botanic Gardens. An easy way to see all the attractions is on the open top Hop-On, Hop-Off bus tour, offering panoramic views of this cultural city. You may wish to venture out of the city and take a dolphin cruise on the Moray Firth, book a Loch Ness Cruise, or a full day excursion to experience the train journey along the Far North Line through wild Caithness ... the options are endless!

DAY 4

After breakfast it is time to bid farewell to the Highlands and customers booking our rail package return by train, past the Cairngorm Mountains and down through the Lowlands to Edinburgh and homeward stations.
