Royal Scotsman by Belmond | Embark on a Scotch Malt Whisky Tour

Embark on a special 4 night classic journey through Scotland with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, the world’s foremost malt whisky club and specialists in single-cask, single-malt whiskies. Outdoor adventure and spirits lover, you are among friends.

Departing from Edinburgh, travel north across the Firth of Forth over the magnificent Forth Railway Bridge. Enjoy the majestic views offered as you pass Loch Luichart, the Torridon Mountains and the Cairngorms National Park. A light afternoon tea is served as you glide through the former Kingdom of Fife, followed by an exclusive Whisky nosing and tasting with whisky expert and prolific author, Charles MacLean.

The following day, after a full Scottish breakfast, alight from the train in Tain for a visit to Glenmorangie House and Glenmorangie Distillery. Established in 1843, Glenmorangie is one of Scotland’s most renowned distilleries. Learn about the traditional whisky production methods before enjoying a tutored tasting. This is followed by a light lunch before you rejoin the train in the late afternoon.

Relax on board in the afternoon as your journey takes you on one of the most scenic railway routes in the UK. The line passes Loch Luichart and the Torridon mountains, which geologists believe were formed before any life began. Travel onwards through Achnasheen, then commence the climb to Luib summit before descending to Strathcarron. The train then follows the edge of Loch Carron through Attadale, Stromeferry and Duncraig before skirting the picture-postcard fishing village of Plockton en route to Kyle of Lochalsh, gateway to the mystical Isle of Skye. A formal dinner is served this evening, followed by coffee and liqueurs in the Observation Car.

The following morning the train travels east towards Carrbridge followed by a specialist single-cask tasting with your whisky ambassador. Later, disembark in Aviemore to visit the historic Tomatin Distillery for a tour and tutored tasting.

On Day four, after having enjoyed your choice of outdoor pursuits on the Rothiemurchus estate in the heart of The Cairngorms National Park, return to the train in Kingussie and enjoy a leisurely lunch while the journey takes you south, before disembarking to visit Tullibardine Distillery in Blackford village. Your private VIP tour features nosing straight from the cask and a tutored tasting of three Tullibardine Highland single malts.

Re-join the Royal Scotsman in Perth and prepare for a formal dinner en route to Dundee. Tonight, the infectious beat of the music may inspire you to join in some lively Scottish country dancing on the station platform, a fitting finale to your Whisky Journey.

As your train leaves Dundee in the morning, crossing the Tay Bridge into the former Kingdom of Fife and making its way back to Edinburgh, savour a full Scottish breakfast with your fellow guests.
