Step into a city steeped in legend, drama and breathtaking scenery with this unforgettable rail tour to Edinburgh from London. Fondly known as Auld Reekie, meaning Old Smokey in Scots, Scotland’s capital is one of Europe’s most distinctive cities and makes a truly memorable gift for anyone who loves history, culture and iconic sights.
The journey begins with a comfortable round trip train ride from London, complete with reserved seats for a relaxed and scenic start to the day. On arrival, Edinburgh reveals itself as a city where the past and present sit side by side. A city map and information booklet help set the scene, making it easy to explore at leisure and tailor the day to personal interests.
At the heart of the experience is entry to the mighty Edinburgh Castle. Perched dramatically atop Castle Rock, an ancient extinct volcano, this 1,100 year old fortress dominates the skyline. Wander through its historic walls and uncover tales of kings, queens, battles and prisoners of war. Walk in the footsteps of Scottish royalty and come face to face with the Stone of Destiny, a sacred symbol of monarchy used for centuries in coronations.
Beyond the castle, the medieval streets of Old Town invite exploration. Stroll along the famous Royal Mile, lined with historic buildings, traditional pubs and charming shops. Discover hidden closes and underground vaults, admire the elegant Georgian architecture of New Town, or head to Calton Hill for panoramic views across the city. Whether ticking off must see landmarks or simply soaking up the atmosphere, this rail tour offers a rich and rewarding day out.
