Gloss-lacquered wood panels and warm-toned fabrics have perfected the appeal of this Edwardian country house. The adjoining cabins, equipped with steam showers, set a new standard in comfort and heralded the birth of a luxury legend.
In 2007, the train was named Royal Scotsman and has never stopped raising the bar for style and innovation. The addition of the Bamford Haybarn Spa carriage marks a world first in the pursuit of perfect wellbeing. A true trailblazer on the rails, Royal Scotsman is an impressive way to go, steeped in the spirit of the Scottish Highlands.
