While the weather is often unpredictable in Scotland, it can produce wonderful extremes of colour and atmosphere, from the cold blues of winter and spring to the warm hues of summer and autumn, from delicate misty landscapes to bright summer days with blue skies. This style of preserving fish originated in Arbroath on the east coast of Scotland. The Royal Scotsman, the world's most luxurious Edwardian train, offers an intriguing choice of tours through Scotland and England. Tours of Scotland aboard the Royal Scotsman and between London and Edinburgh run from April to November, but this year there will be a very special Millennium holiday featuring the Royal Scotsman. The 36-passenger Royal Scotsman travels through scenic countryside, stopping to visit castles, private houses and other places of interest, accompanied by the train's own tour guide.
Accommodation is in state twin and single cabins, each with private shower and bathroom facilities.
Gourmet cuisine is served on board the train in dining cars which have been remodeled using rich mahogany paneling. A spacious and stylish observation car offers comfortable sofas and armchairs for passengers to enjoy the ever changing panorama. Around 10,000 visitors a year tour the Bowmore distillery which keeps a neighbouring swimming pool warm with the heat from the distilling process.
