Scotland guided rail tour, Skye & Glencoe

We are continually increasing our range of public transport vacations for those who actively choose low-carbon transport. We use our years of expertise with the timetables of boats and trains to ensure guests can access remote areas without the need for a car. We encourage travelers to use more sustainable methods of transport, and seek to reduce carbon emissions in this tour by ensuring that the majority of travel is by train.

This guided tour has been carefully-designed to allow you to explore much of Scotland by rail, traveling from Edinburgh to Blair Atholl, Pitlochry to Loch Carron via Inverness, Mallaig to Fort William and Spean Bridge to Glasgow by train.

This guided tour takes you beyond the end of the train lines, through the careful addition of short transfers and day-tours by mini coach to locations that cannot be accessed by rail, such as the Isle of Skye and Glencoe. Travel from Skye to Mallaig is via ferry.

The meals included in this tour are in these locally owned hotel restaurants. Each menu focuses on local produce and cuisine, with ingredients coming from in and around Scotland as much as possible, with fruit, vegetables and salads usually from the property’s own kitchen garden.

We are corporate members of the John Muir Trust, an organisation committed to protecting the Scottish Highlands and islands. We are also members of AITO, The Specialist Travel Association, and adhere to their strict code of conduct concerning sustainable and responsible travel.

We produce very little printed marketing material and utilise the internet and email marketing as our primary communication channels. Our preference is to provide our customers with tour documentation via an app rather than printed hard copy whenever possible. We ensure any leftover marketing materials are recycled.
