Scotland
The Scottish Highlands have railway lines that cross some wild, open country. They run over empty moors, follow sea lochs and end at small harbours with ferries to the islands.
The Highlands by train
The West Highland Line and the Kyle Line are made for looking out of the window. We pair them with walks on the Isle of Skye, where coastal paths lead along green cliffs and into quiet glens.
