The Royal Scotsman
Edinburgh and The Lothians

One of the world's most luxurious trains, the Royal Scotsman allows you to travel the length and breadth of Scotland from the comfort of your own private en-suite cabin. In addition to an open-deck observation car, 2 dining cars and just 20 luxury cabins, The Royal Scotsman has a crew of dedicated staff to ensure that your stay in nothing less than perfect. Taking you to some of Scotland's best loved sites from the elegant Glamis Castle and Torridor Mountains to Loch Lomond, Ben Nevis, the Cairngorms National Park, the Isle of Bute and Klye of Lochalsh to mention but a few. Nearly all journeys include a visit to a whisky distillery and all journeys feature a mix of formal and informal evening meals with optional evening entertainment from clansmen story tellers to local musicians. Kilts are welcomed on board and you can even rent one from Kinloch Anderson, the Queen's kilt maker, before your trip begins. Journeys range from between 2 and 7 nights and cover different parts of the country, but all start and finish in Edinburgh. For those who love castles and country homes, the 4 night 'County Home and Garden' itinerary is fantastic.

Client Testimonials

Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
We have just returned back from a wonderful trip. Thank you very much for organising everything. The transfer was excellent – for once they had perfect car seats. The villa was lovely, just what we needed and the hotel had helpfully put us as far away as possible from everyone else. The breakfast buffet was the best I have ever seen – and I am slightly obsessive over breakfast!! There was an incredible choice, something for everyone and so beautifully presented. A real highlight of the trip. Thank you again for sorting everything - and at such short notice!
