Around the Highlands by public transport
All of our tours are bespoke and tailored to exactly what you want to do. This itinerary is just an example - get in touch and let us customise it for your perfect holiday.
This train tour of the Scottish Highlands has everything: steam trains and ferries, mountains and islands, highlands and lowlands, history and culture.
This is one of very few itineraries in the Highlands which can be done entirely on public transport. Public transport tours in Scotland are often difficult, but this one works well - we think it's a real classic.
The tour could easily be varied to start in Edinburgh or Glasgow - or, if you're coming up from London, why not take the Caledonian Sleeper up to Fort William and back down from Aviemore?
If you're on a self-drive tour, we can always combine it with elements of this tour - why not leave the car in Fort William and travel to Skye in style on a steam train?
6 days is probably the quickest you would want to do it - ideally we would suggest taking ten days or more, allowing time for a few side trips and rest days.
This railway tour works with a wide range of accommodation - from our handpicked 3-Star hotels and B&Bs right up to luxury castles, there are lots of options everywhere.
