Highlands without driving
Three Highland trips you can do entirely by train.
The West Highland Line, the Far North Line and the Kyle Line cover most of the Highlands by rail — slowly, but at sleeper-train pace. This guide lays out three rail-only itineraries: Glasgow to Mallaig, Inverness to Wick, Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh.
