Edinburgh

Board the Royal Scotsman at Edinburgh Waverley Station to start your adventure. The train departs in the early afternoon and heads west through Falkirk, reaching Craigendoran, the starting point for the West Highland Line.

After breakfast, your experience in the great outdoors begins with RVIVAL, ready to guide you through your pre-chosen activities from a thrilling ropes activity to a hike through the rugged terrain.

Alternatively, engage in a Commando Experience close to the British Commando Forces’ World War II training site on the Achnacarry Estate – for inspiration, visit the Commando Memorial in stunning Lochaber.

Sample culinary delights from wilderness experts who have embraced a deep passion for foraging and refined campfire cooking. Savour wild-inspired cocktails and dishes that showcase the very essence of their culinary artistry.

If weather conditions allow, a packrafting excursion lets you take to the water. In true expedition style, cross a loch in an inflatable boat and soak up the tranquility of your surroundings.

Return to Spean Bridge for a hot shower aboard the train, followed by a nip or two of whisky and a delectable dinner.

Day Three

Wemyss Bay

After a leisurely morning on board, meet up with the RVIVAL guides in Wemyss Bay for the next chapter of your journey. You may have chosen a RIB adventure along the historic coastline, and/or a trip in expedition-spec Land Rover Defenders to the Blair Estate. Here, survival specialists lead an engaging and educational afternoon, teaching essential skills and ancient techniques that connect you with your more primitive roots. Another wild feast of Scottish delicacies is also on the menu.

Return to Wemyss Bay in the early evening and rejoin the train for a final warm, cosy, lavish night on board.
