Chef Tom Kitchin's Taste of Scotland
Scotland's most decorated chef meets Scotland's most storied train in a two-night journey built entirely around the table. The Belmond Royal Scotsman heads north through the hills of Perthshire and the Cairngorms National Park while Michelin-starred Tom Kitchin showcases his nature-to-plate philosophy as the very landscape that inspires it rolls past the windows. Champagne afternoon tea carries you through Pitlochry and Blair Atholl before a wine masterclass with L'Art du Vin in the Observation Car sets the stage for a four-course dinner at Boat of Garten. Day two steps off the rails for a Highland safari and clay pigeon shooting at Rothiemurchus Estate in the Cairngorms, a lochside bothy barbecue, and an expert-led tasting at Benromach distillery in Forres. A gala dinner closes the evening as the train turns south, and the final morning delivers a crossing of the 1890 Forth Railway Bridge back into Edinburgh. 48 hours to appreciate the terrain of Scotland in new, delicious ways.
