The true chef-d’oeuvre is the Observation Lounge that trails at the back of the train. When you’re not exploring the country by foot, this car is the best place to come to relax. During the day, sink back in the comfort of plush sofas as you survey the scenery as it unfolds before you. You may even take in the crisp Scottish air from the open external deck. By night, the lounge becomes a cosy, laid back space filled with traditional music, perfect for slowly sipping a glass of malt whiskey.
