Adventures by train in Scotland

Sometimes all that is needed to switch-off from the daily grind is a journey by train to a new destination: getting settled in a seat with a good book, with views to admire out of the window, and perhaps a soundtrack on the ears, with plenty of time to relax, daydream, and to ponder what the destination has in store. According to a recent survey by VisitScotland, 1 in 4 visitors used rail travel when they were in Scotland, with 1 in 3 stating they chose public transport as they felt it would enhance their holiday*. This summer, visitors to Scotland can have a train journey to remember including some brand-new routes such as the Levenmouth rail link direct from Edinburgh.
