A Once-in-a-Lifetime Grand Tour of Scotland
ABOARD BELMOND’S ROYAL SCOTSMAN
Step aboard a world where the rhythm of the rails carries you not just across Scotland’s Highlands, but deep into its soul. This August, to mark 40 years of the legendary Royal Scotsman, Belmond invites a select few on a seven-night Grand Tour of Scotland — a journey crafted for those who crave not just luxury, but meaning, depth, and wonder.
For one unforgettable week, you’ll traverse storied landscapes: the haunting Orkney Islands, the mystical Isle of Skye, the regal beauty of Royal Deeside, and the shimmering expanse of Loch Lomond. Onboard, Edwardian elegance wraps you in warmth — just 36 guests, sharing fine drams, candlelit dinners, and the timeless magic of a bygone age.
Journey Overview: Eight Days of Immersive Luxury
22–29 August 2025 | From £24,850 per cabin
This is more than an itinerary — it’s a carefully composed symphony of place and experience:
Seven nights aboard the Royal Scotsman, with impeccable 24-hour steward service
Full Scottish breakfasts, two-course lunches, three-course dinners, and an endless pour of world-class beverages
Daily guided excursions: from Glenmorangie’s amber spirits to Orkney’s ancient stone circles, from Skye’s rugged cliffs to the grandeur of Drumlanrig Castle
Evenings alive with traditional music, lively storytelling, and shared laughter in the vintage Observation Car

Highlights Along the Way
Edinburgh to the Highlands: Afternoon tea on the rails as you pass through Perthshire’s rolling hills, arriving at the serene private Strathspey Railway.
Orkney Islands: Neolithic wonders, windswept coastlines, and a window into Scotland’s prehistoric past.
Isle of Skye: Choose between wild outdoor adventures or an intimate historian-led journey through Skye’s storied landscapes and legends.
Royal Aberdeenshire & Loch Lomond: Castles, coastlines, villages, and a private boat cruise across one of Scotland’s most fabled lochs.
Gala Finale at Drumlanrig Castle: A majestic dinner in the State Dining Room, followed by farewell drinks under the stars.
Throughout, every detail — from the candlelit dining tables to the live Scottish folk music — evokes timeless hospitality at its finest.
Why This Journey Stands Apart
This isn’t a trip you stumble upon — it’s one you answer. A call to the romantics, the collectors of rare moments, the travellers who seek not just to visit, but to immerse, to savour, to belong.
This Grand Tour is perfect for couples, milestone celebrations, or anyone longing for a once-in-a-lifetime experience woven with history, elegance, and soul.
