Not only that, but you can also choose your rail line, pick between sleeper trains with more relaxing and private accommodations or traditional seats, and make stops in-between destinations where you can explore, stay in a hotel, and visit monuments like castles and other iconic locations.
Holidaycottages.co.uk says that the West Highland line is often described as Britain’s most "scenic railway." The line runs from Glasgow through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs before taking passengers into the heart of the Highlands. "The train crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct before continuing past lochs, forests, and mountains to Fort William and Mallaig," according to the press release.
