Edinburgh - Stirling
The Royal Scotsman departs Edinburgh Waverley in the afternoon, and travels north across the Firth of Forth by means of the magnificent Forth Railway Bridge. This is one of the first cantilever bridges, designed and built by Benjamin Baker in the late 1880s. It is considered one of the greatest achievements of the Victorian Age, and known as the eighth wonder of the world.

Rejoin the train in Perth and travel through the Kingdom of Fife, of which Macduff was once Thane, before heading west again to Stirling with its magnificent Royal Castle dominating the surrounding countryside.
The Royal Scotsman stables overnight in the historic city of Stirling and after a formal dinner, you can enjoy entertainment in the Observation Car.
