As Britain rail travel specialists, we have put together a select number of Scotland-only rail tours to complement our selection Britain-wide rail trips; choose from our suggested Scotland rail itineraries as featured below or work with your adeo Travel vacation expert to develop your Scotland by train programme. Scotland has a simple but far-reaching rail network and is home to some of the world’s most scenic rail journeys making it a superb destination for independent travellers to explore by train.

The Heart of Scotland line, the Western Highland Line and the Northern Highland Line are just some of Scotland’s famous rail routes which regularly feature amongst the world’s greatest railway journeys in travel guide polls, surveys and articles. Experience them all yourself, on an adeo Travel Scotland rail tour when you can take in views such as the remote Northern Highlands, the desolate Rannoch Moor and cross the stunning Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous in the Harry Potter movies. The Scottish rail network reaches far in to the Northern Highlands and Scotrail trains generally run promptly and efficiently with comfortable carriages and consistent on-board services; all this, combined with a selection of dedicated Scotland-only rail passes, makes a rail tour of Scotland an exciting, comfortable and cost-effective way to explore this nation.

Our independent Scotland rail tours come with a host of inclusions as standard; we’ll always provide your flexible Scotland Britrail passes for your daily rail travel, all overnight accommodation and our comprehensive travel documents pack – not to mention ferry crossings and small-group day excursions on selected tours. Your hotels will be conveniently located for the railway station in each destination, we’ll always select the rail pass which best suits your travel needs and your adeo Travel documents contain plenty of practical information such as rail schedules dedicated to your specific itinerary, not to mention our additional hints and tips.

The rugged terrain of the north of Scotland means that the rail network in the Highlands is limited, but your rail tour itinerary itself remains completely flexible within the confines of this network. Your adeo Travel vacation expert will be happy to offer their advice to help you tailor your trip to suit you by extending your stays or adding destinations as preferred. The remote regions in the Highlands are best explored by locally operated day-tours, so be sure to ask us about integrating these in to your itinerary in certain destinations!
