scotland by rail, 7 NIGHTs
The varied landscape of northern Scotland and astounding history of the region draws tourists from all around the world each year; however, those that choose to explore the country using this tour are in for a treat. Based out of Inverness, this tour begins with free time to get acquainted with the country.
Soak in the pub culture, see the sites or enjoy the contrast of the storied city against the lovely waters of the River Ness. It is on the third day that the adventure begins, as travelers make their way along famed rail lines such as the Jacobite Steam Train, the West Highland Line, the Kyle Line, the Highland Railroad, and the Strathspey Steam Railroad. While the railways and trains themselves are incredible, it's the stops and views along the way that make this journey magnificent.
Highlights include the 21 arches of the Glennnan Viaduct (famed for its feature in the Harry Potter films), a tour of the Eilean Donan Castle and a journey through Cairngorm National Park, amongst other stops and excursions.
