Scottish Railways

Edinburgh Waverley and Glasgow Central are the country's mainline gateways, served by ScotRail, LNER, Avanti and CrossCountry. From there the network reaches Aberdeen, Inverness, Mallaig and Thurso — including the Far North Line, the Highland Main Line and the famous West Highland Line over the Glenfinnan Viaduct.

ScotRail's modern Class 385 EMUs handle the Central Belt, while the Caledonian Sleeper offers an overnight journey from London. For heritage railway fans, the Strathspey Railway and the Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway both run regular steam services.

Whether you're exploring the iconic Forth Bridge, riding the Jacobite Steam Train across Glenfinnan, or simply commuting from Linlithgow, Scotland's railways combine engineering history with breathtaking landscapes.
