The Royal Scotsman

The Edwardian splendour of The Observation Car provides the perfect backdrop to enjoy the exclusivity of The Royal Scotsman. Its many windows give a panoramic view of the constantly changing scenery, which may be enjoyed from the comfort of the interior or from the exhilarating open verandah. Comfortable sofas and armchairs provide seating for all 36 guests and conviviality and conversation are assured. After dinner the country house party ambience is enhanced by entertainment which creates a distinctly Scottish mood.

Dining on The Royal Scotsman is an exquisite experience. Our fixed menus reflect the seasonal changes and are consistently regarded as the best in any hotel in the world. Our extensive cellar provides a range of fine wines to accompany lunch and dinners, and we offer a fine range of liqueurs and malt whiskies. The choice of a full Scottish cooked breakfast or a Continental breakfast is available every morning. Both Dining Cars are beautifully decorated with rich mahogany panelling and luxurious fabrics. Victory provides 16 elegant settings grouped in twos and fours, while Raven has larger tables for six or eight. This offers you the chance to make new friends with your fellow guests or simply enjoy the company of the one you're with.

The Sleeping Cars provide 16 twin and 4 single State Cabins, beautifully fitted out in rich marquetry. All cabins have lower beds, dressing table, full-length wardrobe, hairdryer, individually controlled heating, cooling ceiling fans, opening windows and cabin service call button. Each cabin has its own private bathroom with shower, wash-basin and toilet, constant hot water, high quality toiletries and fresh fluffy, white towels every day. With the train stabled at night in a quiet siding or station you are assured a good night's sleep.
