Rail travel doesn't get any better than a trip on
The Royal Scotsman. With prices of around a thousand pounds a night, she is one of the orient express group of trains, taking those with enough money on 2 to 7 night tours around Scotland.

This afternoon she arrived at Wemyss Bay station on day 3 of a 5 day Grand West Highland Journey. Passengers disembarked to take a short ferry ride to Bute for a day spent at Mount Stuart.

I could only dream of even stepping onto the train but I caught her arriving at Wemyss Bay and had a look around after those with money had left for the ferry.
