The Best Group Trips to Take With Your Family

Fond memories of travelling by train as a kid? This trip will get you very nostalgic, as we explore the most beautiful corners of Scotland via some of the UK’s most stunning rail routes. We’ll actually start in London, taking the sleeper train north to Fort William, waking up to private cabin views of the rugged Scottish countryside. In Fort William you’ll get an amazing whisky-tasting experience – big selling point for the dads out there – before embarking on a trip to Mallaig the next morning. This isn’t any old journey, however, as we hop onboard the charming old Jacobite steam train, immortalised as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter movies. We’ll cross the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct on our journey west, which is full of spectacular views of mountains, forests and lochs. We’ll explore the Isle of Skye, Inverness and the Cairngorms National Park before eventually rounding off the trip in the capital, Edinburgh. Who’s having haggis and who’s going for the deep fried Mars bar, then?
