ROYAL SCOTSMAN - LUXURY TRAIN TRAVEL IN SCOTLAND
The Royal Scotsman train operated by Belmond is one of the most luxurious luxury trains in the world. It was first launched in 1985. In 1990, the original carriages were removed and replaced by a new set of Pullman cars, renovated by James Park Associates.
Lacquered wood panels and warm-toned fabrics perfected the Edwardian country-house appeal. The adjoining cabins, equipped with steam showers, established unprecedented comfort and the birth of a luxury legend.
In 2007, the train was christened the Royal Scotsman, and has been raising the bar for style and innovation ever since. The addition of the Bamford Haybarn Spa carriage marks a world first in the pursuit of perfect well-being. A true leader on the rails, Royal Scotsman is an impressive way to submerge yourself in the soul of the Scottish Highlands.
