Perth

Trains regularly leave Edinburgh for Perth, crossing the Firth of Forth bridge into Fife and up to Perth. This elegant town, once the capital of Scotland, has inspired writers and composers alike, and the surrounding area is steeped in centuries of Scottish history and legends of the feuding clans.

Enjoy a breathtaking 3-hour journey through the towering mountains and enchanting lochs of this exceptionally beautiful area. In Inverness you can ample local seafood as you watch the dolphins play in the Moray Firth.
