Announced December 18, 2025 by Belmond, the Royal Scotsman's four-night Scotch Malt Whisky itinerary begins with a bagpiper's welcome at Edinburgh's Waverley Station. Passengers board the train, painted in its distinctive maroon livery, ready for a Highland adventure.

The journey unfolds with a deliberate pace, allowing guests to immerse themselves in Scotland's iconic landscapes from the comfort of elegantly appointed carriages. Robb Report describes the experience as a blend of luxury and immersive cultural discovery.

Our take: Belmond has consistently set the standard for luxury rail travel. The Royal Scotsman, with its themed itineraries like the Scotch Malt Whisky tour, exemplifies how to elevate a journey beyond mere transit into a destination in itself. This offering solidifies their position in experiential luxury travel.
