Edinburgh to Inverness Escape

  • Experience the best of the Highlands between Edinburgh and Inverness on foot and by train
  • Stay in the heart of Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital city
  • Choose from varied walks, on forest trails and among castle grounds
  • Take a tour of Scotland's smallest distillery, Edradour, in Pitlochry
  • Ride the train from Edinburgh through beautiful countryside to meet the sea at Inverness
Connect two of Scotland's bucket-list destinations - Edinburgh and Inverness - on this short break rail & hike tour. Combine scenic rail journeys with a variety of relaxed walking options in the heart of Scotland. Explore Edinburgh’s cobbled streets, Botanic Gardens, Arthur’s Seat, or Carlton Hill for stunning views. Then, escape to the stunning Perthshire countryside for a two-night stay in Blair Atholl, a village of stone cottages centered around Blair Castle. Hike Glen Tilt or stroll woodland trails before following riverside paths to lively Pitlochry, perfect for a distillery visit. Continue by train through Cairngorm National Park to Inverness, where riverside walks, coastal views, and cozy pubs await. If you have longer to explore Scotland by train we recommend our Highlands & Isle of Skye: Rail & Hike tour, or treat yourself on our The Highlands & Isle of Skye: Rail & Hike In Style tour.
