48 HOUR SLEEPER TRAIN ADVENTURE! FROM LONDON, ENGLAND TO THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND! MR CARRINGTON
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- Hi everyone! I'm back with a bucket list travel vlog, as I take you on the Caledonian Sleeper train from London Euston, England to Fort William in the Highlands of Scotland. Discover what it's like to travel in a Club and Classic Room, or a Seat on this iconic sleeper train as I take you on a 48 hour adventure. In Fort William we'll hike to the world famous Steall Falls, the second largest Waterfall in Scotland, which is a spectacular location in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and take the challenge of walking the wire rope bridge over the river. On the train journey we depart London to travel up through England, into the Scottish Highlands and pass through the most remote and highest train station in the United Kingdom, Corrour railway station - which is a location in the film Train Spotting. In Fort William I take you on a tour of the high street, stopping off at some Charity Shops and local pubs, including the Ben Nevis and share with you some ideas for acomodation and tips for hiring a car! Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions leave them in the comments :)

When going on solo hikes, it's recommended you notify your hotel proprietor, but also to leave a note in your car window stating when you started your hike, the destination, what you are wearing (color jacket) and when you intend to return. If someone finds the car unattended beyond the time you intended to return, they can sound alarm.
Great advice! Preferably don't go solo.
What a charming young man. His appreciation of the kindness of the people he met in Scotland is heart-warming - and no silly pickiness about the wrong sort of tissues or whatever. Wanting to be pleased is a gift.
Who needs a travel guide when you've got Mr Carrington? Excellent, fantastic filming. Thank you 💙
Mr C…You should have your own travel show on mainstream TV x
Thank you so much for taking us along with you. That was very interesting, both the train journey and Fort William. You do this so well; someone give Mr Carrington a travel show, please 👍 🤗 🏔️
Yes that’s a great idea. We haven’t had anyone this good for ages. He is such a lovely man too.
He’s possibly too busy with the “Sort your life out” programme
Did 3 weeks in Scotland last Summer.Had a week near Falkirk a week in Malaig went to Mull and Skye and a week in Ayrshire wonderful going back to Scotland for 3 weeks this summer.Loved It all
Your very brave doing that walk to the waterfall, not for me at my age, as I’ve got older I’ve also got more afraid of heights.
OMG! You are so brave! Thanks for taking us along! That hike!!!
My daughter is 40 in Jan 2026 and your travel vlogs have given us loads of inspiration, she just has to choose now which one she wants to do, of course mom will be tagging along. Thank you for your vlogs, not just travel, I love them all. Xx
Coo, it looks a lot posher then when hubby and I went on the sleeper in the 80's! I'm a bottom bunk sleeper. I remember when we were nearing Fort William I looked out of the window and said, "Look at those goats; they're huge!" Hubby said, "They're stags...." What a wally!🤣
Oh my goodness you’ve inspired me. I’ve started solo travelling and this ticks all the boxes for me. Brilliant video, thank you.🙂
My first impression is wow that's a tiny room!😲
Oh how I love your vlogs. Hubby and I would love to do this same trip one day. My late mum and dad did the trip in the 50's with one of my late brothers on a motorbike and sidecar. They went to Fort William and even climbed Ben Nevis. Mum used to love telling me that story. Your fabulous vlog brought it all back because my dad used to work on the railway back in the old days. I love watching your vlogs in the afternoon on my tv. Thank you so much. Big hugs from your fans here in Mallorca Debra and Manoloxxxx ❤❤❤
Got to be your best video ever. So detailed, funny moments and about the places you visited not just about getting pics for Instagram. Your manager needs to get a producer on board for a tv series. Really enjoyed it. You are a brave man attempting the wire walk and no gloves!
You need to be taken up as a travel advisor, so informative, honest, plus your enthusiasm is ❤. Hope you get a job doing this, so well deserved ❤🙏
Thank you for such a wonderful video! My father was from Scotland and we had some lovely vacations there. We drove to Fort William down those twisty roads through spectacular valleys. Even though my father emigrated to Canada and loved it here, his heart was always home in Scotland.🏴 🇨🇦❤
As an ex-pat Brit in Canada, I absolutely loved your video! Made me homesick!😢👋🇬🇧🇨🇦
Enjoyed that so much. I was in Fort William 11 months ago and it was freezing and Sunday so everywhere was closed. We were staying in Oban and visited Mull and Iona. I drove up to the north of Scotland in September and it was so hot! I I love Scotland and go every year. It is a very long drive and needs 2 full days to drive north. It is also nice to catch the train from Fort William to Kyle of Loch Ailsh and from there to Skye which is one of my favourite places. It is such a shame the weather was so awful on the second day but you don't go to Scotland for the weather!! The scenery is stunning and the food everywhere is so good. More of these please! Haste ye back! (Living in London it is easy to forget just how remote parts of Scotland are) It is such a wonderful place to refresh the soul away from the hustle and bustle of London and smell the fresh air!
Try flying to Glasgow then onward however you want to. I went by Scotlink (bus) to Fort William then Skye. Bliss!
I am awarding you Vlog of the Year. Just wonderful but scary too. That ridiculous path and bridge. So glad you made it safely back. Thank you for all your wonderful vlogs.
I was lucky enough to win a weekend break to Inverness on Alans robsons night owls. The ppl were lovely and the Kingsmill hotel was beautiful.
Video paused lol that cabin is so tiny!! It's like a tiny house on wheels lol I think I would sleep on the bottom. I'm way to clumsy to tempt fate by sleeping on top! 😂
Delighted that you've been up here to Scotland on the Caledonian sleeper train and am thoroughly enjoying seeing everything! I Love your lilac tartan Jumper and your pjs ! saying all this in a Scottish accent! 🥰
This was so great to see!! The Summer of 71 my parents and I drove around
the Continent and then the UK. Dad was quite the Fly Fisherman so he fished
the River Tweed. We did not have time to get to the Highlands which I highly
regret. He wanted to see it so.
I've really enjoyed your video of your trip to Bonnie Scotland. It is so beautiful there. Thanks x
Thank you for another wonderful video. I am at home sick in bed at this time so it was delightful to watch you having fun. The scenery was breathtaking. The bridge did look a bit iffy!!! Much love to you both. See you next video! ❤
How beautiful... magical... great selection of music whilst looking at the highland scenery through the train window as well. Mr C, this was a wonderful watch I loved all of it, so beautiful so informative. I live in Melbourne Australia and have always enjoyed sleeper train travel all over the country, its really a lovely timeless way to go. It is lovely when the trip is a wonderful part of the journey.
Absolutely loved this video. Sleeper train looks fab. Love Fort William too. This was a good video with lots of ideas when visiting places in Scotland.
Thanks for taking us to Scotland ❤
Brilliant video Mr C. What an adventure! 💕

Mr. C. Thanks a million for taking us along with you on your train ride to Scotland. The scenery is beautiful. Absolutely awesome info. Hope you had a marvellous mini vacation. Short and sweet. Always a pleasure to watch your Vlogs and videos. Stay safe.
Thank you for an amazing vlog, loved every bit of it. Your voice is soft and calm, so nice to listen to you. I so want to follow your footsteps exactly, loved every bit of it ❤
Your complexion was absolutely glowing after your hike. All that highland air agreed with you 😊
Thank you, Mr C. I love sleeping on a train and it’s always snug! That pathway to the waterfall was pretty scary and I couldn’t believe you were going to try that bridge! Brave lad! Thanks for the glimpse of beautiful highland scenery; lovely video.
Ocht, im glad you showed the beauty o bonnie Scotland.... I love my country so much, so thank you for the lovely vlog.... as always gorgeous huge huggles from Scotland 🏴 🤗
There are so many beautiful places up there. Inverary, Crinnan oh loads of places, me and my husband actually travelled on his motorbike to Tarbet, on our honeymoon. All the way from Cheshire to Scotland and back. We had square bums by the time we got home...😊
Being from Scotland
And visited Fort William many a time
Glad you enjoyed
Next time Do the Glenfinnan viaduct 🚂 ( Harry Potter) I have beautiful pictures & good memories
Of that journey
Oh and highland spring water is bottled in my village 😊 I would like to see you take up travel show Mr C 👍 come on Chanel 4
Lived in Inverness for years the best place for me wonderful people Fort William is gorgeous too thanks for taking us with you Mr.Carrington you made my day 😊
I was born in Inverness!!
I would be claustrophobic in that little room!! I was thinking how much I’d like to do that trip one day-I’m watching from Florida-and then saw the room and thought ‘no way’.
Have never been to Scotland and have always wanted to go so living vicariously through you with this one Mr C! What a great trip, thanks for taking us along x
Loved this. Great travel details and stunning Scottish scenery.
Oh my, this was an amazing travel adventure! Thanks so much for taking us along, such breathtaking scenery and lovely spots to visit.
Thank you for sharing your trip with us bottom bunk all the way 😊
Such a enthusiastically taken adventure, thank you for allowing us to accompany you.
so good to see you had an amazing time - as always with good humour, the charity shop pictures are gorgeous and I too love a fridge magnet - thank you for sharing your journey it was lovely to watch. 🥰
What a lovely video, the views of Scotland made my heart sing. Thank you!
Wow, wow, and wow! Mr. Carrington and sleeper train! "Those are some of my favorite things!"
Wow. Thank you for bringing us with you on this lovely train journey, Mr.C, really interesting and enjoyable.
Winnie Wallace..... Best video. You did a great job with this. I'll definitely be following you Mr Carrington. You come across so very likeable and informative.
I so enjoyed watching this. So rugged and beautiful in fort William.
I went on a sleeper from Paris to the alps for a skiing trip for new year 1985. There were six of us in the cabin, three bunks on each side- myself, my French pen friend and four of her French friends . It was just beautiful coming out to the early morning sunshine on the glistening snow and the spectacular mountains.
Thank you for taking us to Scotland, amazing scenery and so informative x
Wow wow thank you so much for taking one for the team!! It was so brave on that bridge such a lot of info there I loved it all thank you❤️
Ooh Mr. Carrington. Thats my honeymoon trip nearly forty years ago. I went in August, but you had better weather than i did! 😂
What a lovely vlog……the views….wow…..❤
Wow how beautiful!!!!! Oh my god the TLC quote had me dying!!!!😂😂😂
Wow! What a fantastic vlog! I enjoyed it sooo much! Thank you ☺️💚
We could only secure seats on one particular occasion, but it was super comfortable! Except the thermostat broke down, and we had to endure a tropical temperature for the entire journey.Group of ladies in our carriage changed into matching PJs and popped on face masks, and just loved the experience.Really admire your adventurous spirit, and the scenery and atmosphere - literally out of this world!
Caledonian Sleeper staff - always immaculate and first class.
Love it!
Enjoyed that very much, we are off to the Scottish Highlands in april/May so was lovely to see 😊
I am astounded at that very precarious walk with crags, ice, steep, sudden, cliffs, winds and high wire act involved in seeing those falls!! Thank god you managed with all of that! Brave indeed!! I don’t understand that bridge or wire as part of a normal passage?!
The train looked like fun on the way with the wonderful dining car and delicious menu with gourmet quality meals. It’s good to know all you get with regular class & perks with more money down. Nice details on the train a good preparation for a Japanese hotel if going abroad.
The hotel room in Scotland was nice and welcomed in that unruly weather which you braved on that holiday away! The food fantastic and charity shops loaded with historic memorabilia.
Thanks for sharing what can be truly described as your “ brave heart” experience with us! Well done.
CAOL!!!!! The air in Fort William is a whole other level. Clear and sooooo quiet apart from Birds.
Every moment was wonderful! Thank you.
Loved every minute of this Ewan. Definitely inspiring place to think about visiting and the rail prices not too bad considering distance and travel experience. Thanks for taking us along.
Such beautiful scenery! The hike looked challenging but the stunning waterfall at the end was worth it. You are a brave soul! I would not have been able to make myself do that!
Brilliant vlog Iwan, absolutely loved it. You’re glowing with health from all the fresh air.
Thank you so much! The air was amazing!! :)
Woohoo! 🙌🏻 YES! 👏🏻 Another great travel video from Mr. Carrington! 🥰❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent vlog iwan thank you so much for sharing this interesting journey with us and thanks to your partner for his turn been the camera man . ❤
I LOVED this episode. Fabulous!
Thanks for showing me beautiful Scotland... the home of my Grandfather. Why he left I'll never know❤
So loved this vlog Mr Carrington thank you so much🎉
Wonderful viewing. Thoroughly enjoyed that & you make it all look so smooth & effortless. Brilliant.
Love this. I'm so happy you added the travel bit. Mug better than a review of a train x
Ha. I did this journey back in October, and even stayed at the same hotel. Great video - thanks!
Great vlog! I has no idea this train exists! Amazing journey!
Enjoyed this video, you do travel vlogs so well. Thanks!
What a brilliant vlog. Loved every minute. ♥️ A great train holiday. The food served on the train looked 👌 delish. Fort William is full of gorgeous scenery. x
Thank you for sharing this adventure with us. It was amazing and the waterfall was spectacular.
Hi Iwan I am so glad you and your partner enjoyed Bonnie Scotland and we are a kind and friendly bunch her in Scotland ,I am so sorry the weather was not better for you both ,big hugs Katie from Glasgow ,Scotland 💙🤍💙
Well done you are visiting parts of my homeland I have never seen!
That was fantastic, Mr. C.! Thanks for taking us along. You were very brave to even try that bridge. No way I'd have even attempted it. The hotel floor reminds me of Kate McCabe's entrance hall.
Wow it looks beautiful. My sister used to live in Edinburgh and her husband was from Aboyne. We used to go to Edinburgh and there was so much to do. We once went up to Balmoral the village around there it was amazing but -13 I think it was so cold. Would love to discover more of it.
You are as lovely as all the people you met! Very interesting video
Great adventure and a fun video
Oh my goodness Mr Carrington I enjoyed so much, like always you delighted us❤
The night trains have always been 'compact' I think I did it in the late 80s early 90s! I think it looks comfortable enough - I was woken up by a steward when I arrived in London as I was doing it in the reverse from Glasgow to London!
I love watching your vlogs. The TLC reference cracked me up. That was really a LOL , laugh out loud moment.
Great video, pity about the weather. I would have to book a club room because of the toilet. The journey looked great and Fort William looked interesting. Thanks a lot.
Love doing the sleeper journey from Inverness (trains from three Scottish locations join up at Edinburgh). My problem is that I want to sleep but I also want to look out of the window.
Looks like fun. I took the overnight sleeper from Wagga Wagga to Sydney in Australia which was fascinating even if I didn't get much sleep. 😁Bottom bunk would be my preference.
Mr C …simply put …… Brilliant 👊👏👍🏻x Rosey
We've been to many parts of Scotland including Ben nevis and fort William many times beautiful place would recommend seeing but never gone by train enjoyed your vlog very much Chris & Andrew
That sleeper looks really luxurious but omg I would get so claustrophobic!
Thanks for this video my great grandmother was Scottish xx
Brilliant vlog Mr C, that bridge looked like a challenge 😵💫😬🫣😆
What a great trip. I do love a waterfall and that one was spectacular. You were so right to abandon that bridge and avoid an accident in that area but kudos for giving it a try and the walk up was great, wish i'd known about that when i came up to walk Ben Nevis but after that the midges were so bad I didn't get to see much of the area before beating a hasty retreat. Was very interesting to see the overnight train experience. Good travel vlog as usual.
Mr C I thoroughly enjoyed that video and your train adventure. If I ever make it to the UK, that would be some thing, I would really enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures because IM really enjoying living vicariously through yours! 🤩
Just loved this ,you certainly love an adventure!.Scotland d is such a beatiful place,thanks for sharing Ewan .best wishes can't wait for the next one 😺😼
Hi that was great . Thanks so much for such an entertaining and informative vlog .
That was absolutely amazing thank you
