Scotland has so much to offer those who visit, scenic views and wonderful landscapes make it a beautiful and fascinating place for anyone to escape to and explore. That being said while some may enjoy a trip that keeps them on their toes with hikes and trails it’s worth considering railway journeys as a means to see more of the country than would be possible otherwise. If you’d wish to admire the wondrous Scottish landscapes and marvel at the views in comfort or simply see the appeal of being able to see more by means of a train, these rail journeys are worth considering.
