Day Day 3: West Highland Line
Today’s excursion takes us to the town of Fort William, framed by the shores of Loch Linnhe and Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. This is where we join the West Highland Line for a journey along one of the most scenic railways in Britain. We disembark in Mallaig, an attractive fishing port, and enjoy some free time before we return to our hotel.
Day 4: Kyle Line
We head to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, for a journey along the Kyle Line. This single track, as featured on Michael Palin’s Great Railway Journeys of the World, takes us through miles of breathtaking scenery as it climbs the Highlands, passing wooded hillsides and lochs before reaching the quaint village of the Kyle of Lochalsh. We take a scenic drive around the southern side of the peninsula en route to our hotel.
Day 5: Strathspey Steam Railway
After breakfast we travel to one of Scotland’s premier resorts, Aviemore, and board the Strathspey Steam Railway to Broomhill. The sounds and smells of this beautiful journey allow you to relive a bygone age, whether you remember the days of steam or not. We return to our hotel.
Day 6: Home
After breakfast you are free to check out of our hotel and depart at leisure; you could even take the opportunity to explore some more of inverness.
