STRATHSPEY RAILWAY
If you just take one extended rail journey around Scotland, make it this one, because this 11-day itinerary includes two of the most breathtaking railway journeys in the world.
You'll travel the famous 'Road to the Isles' behind the steam locomotive known as the Jacobite. This 84-mile round trip begins at the foot of Ben Nevis and journeys over wild moors, passing Scottish lochs and crossing the iconic, 21-arched Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter films, which overlooks Loch Shiel and the Jacobite monument.
Another unforgettable rail journey is the stunningly spectacular train ride out to Kyle of Lochalsh and back travelling coast to coast across the Highlands, in the shadows of mountains and forests, beside bright lochs and wide-open moors; a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
HOW TO DO IT Departing on 23 June, this tour includes a journey on the Strathspey Railway, a guided tour of Orkney and time to explore Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Thurso. From £1,925 per person, it includes all travel, excursions, 10 days of B&B hotel accommodation, most meals and the services of a tour leader throughout. Call 01766 512400; ffestiniogtravel.com
