Ffestiniog Travel

This Signature Tour was prepared for Mr D & Mrs W Williams, Mrs J Dixon, Miss K Ford and Mr J Nelson and demonstrates what we can do. For further details contact our travel consultants.

The history of Scotland, myth, folklore and fact is explored in this enjoyable and memorable tour. A group of rail enthusiasts holiday together on some of Scotland’s most famous, atmospheric and enduring lines, such as the sensational ‘Kyle Line’ which first opened as early as the 1870s or the world renowned ‘Jacobite’ once voted the best railway journey in the world. A delightful week in Scotland is planned to ensure that not only can our group experience some of the unique rail highlights found in Scotland, but also enjoy the culinary pleasures of Scotland’s finest restaurants and the comfort of renowned hotels. Every day a pleasurable and unique rail journey is planned, in order to optimise the experience of these historical lines and wonder at the magnificent Scottish landscapes. Ffestiniog Travel planned this unique signature holiday to include not only the memorable rail journeys found in Scotland, such as the Cairngorm Mountain Railway, the highest line you can take in the UK, but also to encompass the amazing sights which accompany the railway lines, the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the Caledonian Canal or the Great Glen and Loch Linnhe, all viewed from the comfort of the Jacobite. Perhaps most tellingly though, this enjoyable and one-off holiday has arranged time on the ‘Strathspey Railway’, a delightful steam journey run by enthusiastic volunteers, who the group spend the day with.

Note: Additional excursions can be booked and included on all holidays.
