    Really cool that this train stops for the overnight. Not only does it ensure better sleep but you don't miss any of the incredible landscapes! Also great that you had these sightseeing breaks to see the seals, taste whisky, and that kind of thing. This is my kind of train excursion

    Millie was absolutely the highlight of this video. Stunning scenery but personally, I would have starved on this trip except for the one sea scallop. I do sincerely appreciate all your time and effort to share this experience and I personally take it as a warning to cross train travel in Scotland of my bucket list. Sincerely appreciate you taking the time and effort to give us clear screen shots of the menu. When one is trapped on a train for 5 days food is certainly a priority. Thanks for the time taken to film, edit, and find such amazing background music.

      My husband would starve for sure. He is the worlds pickiest eater; he would refuse pretty much everything except for the steak or the lamb. He’d probably sneak off to find a McDonald’s whenever he had a chance. I however, am a total foodie and I will try anything once. I’ve never had haggis but I would definitely be willing to give it a go if I were there.

      This trip, at $3K per day is just designed for mostly American rich tourists.

More like a Disneyland for tourists from the US with some vague Scottish connection lol.

    It's on *a* Scottish £50 note but not *the* Scottish £50 note. The Royal Bank of Scotland, the Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank are all allowed to print Bank notes, and they all have their own designs. Inverness Castle features on an old withdrawn design of RBS banknote, the current ones have an osprey instead, while the Bank of Scotland current design features the Falkirk Wheel. Clydesdale doesn't currently print a £50 note at all.

    What a gorgeous countryside!!! I have added this trip to my bucket list and hell, I'd even try the haggis! The train looked so comfortable and elegant and the trips out each day looked like so much fun. The castle was stunning, but I couldn't imagine wanting to live in one. The music and dancing and whiskey...😍😍😍

    I have only found your videos about a week ago but I have been eating them up. Their is just something so kind and genuine about your videos and now it makes me want to take a train. I love how you share your trips with your loved ones as well and lets not forget that wonderful joke from Millie at the end lol.

    I'm an Aussie, and ever since my very first trip to Scotland/UK I've thoroughly enjoyed eating haggis...the most interesting way I've had it was deep fried in a long strip from a fish n chip shop in Falkirk (have friends there that I visited) I enjoyed it so much that I went looking for a butcher shop in my own city, Melbourne, that made/sold it..the only place was in an outer suburb of Melbourne, Sunbury...yum...

    I, too, celebrated a birthday while on the Royal Scotsman, in 2022. I kept that to myself, but coincidentally, we were all served champagne on a beach that morning. I agree that the food was fabulous, along with the scenery. We found the accommodations to be claustrophobic, particularly when getting ready on formal nights, when my Irish husband broke out his full kilt, Prince Charlie, and fly. I was slightly more modest with a shawl of my family's McLeod tartan. We loved each evening's entertainment, as well as the send off and welcome back tunes.

    Not sure if any costing details have been omitted, but 15K (for 2) with this kind of opulent package is actually a great bargain, considering other travel options more pricey and less distinguished. The appraisal of good value comes with the memorable afterglow of such an adventure. When something is as close to perfect as it can get - it's a rarified, idyllic escape in a very insane world, and that alone makes it worth every penny.
