subject: Royal Scotsman-luxury Train Of Scotland [print this page] The Royal Scotsman is an outstanding luxury train of Scotland. A small trainjust 36 passengersit is fabulous for those who aspire for a more cherished, comfortable setting with gourmet, sumptous dining, wine-pairing and excellent service. Purely put, it is one of our preferred hotel trains. Especially great fun is the open-air observation place.
Accommodations
The five sleeping carriages offer sixteen twin and four single cabins, wonderfully planned with affluent inlaid wood. The twin compartments are big with two lower twin beds to be found in an L shape. A few beds are nearly six feet, seven inches long, strangely big for a train. Four compartments are purposely intended for single tourists so there is no single supplementa scarcity on luxury trains. The washrooms are huge and are provided with private sink, toilet and shower.
All cabins are provided with dressing table, complete wardrobe, independently controlled heating, fans, opening windows and a service call button to ensure that yo get the best of service in th luxury train. The majority of people sleep like kittens on this train, because it halts at silent sidings at night.
Dining
Dining provisions are very comfortable. Meals are multi cuisine, candlelit affairs, made with the newest, premium local produce, seafoods and meats, and offered either in the usual dining car, Victory, with tiny tables for four or two; or in the subsequent dining car, Raven, which adjusts 20 travelers at three large tables. Appearance is stunning; service is welcoming and proficient with fine wines included.
Lounge Cars
At the end of the train is perchance the most unique carriage, the watching car. Initially made in 1960 by the Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage and Wagon Company, the observation carriage came into use in 1961 as a unparalleled kitchen car. In 1989, the car was purchased from its owner, Michael Bailiss, and transformed it to its up to date luxury design, able to contentedly carry all 36 guests at one time. At the rear part of the train is a much loved spot: the open-air observation platform, for observing the beautiful scenes of the exquisite Scottish scenery.
