Enjoy a premier experience on the West Highland Line before journeying over the sea to Skye.

Relax and take in the glorious scenery from Glasgow to Fort William along the world-renowned West Highland Line.  Stay in an impressive castle hotel before enjoying the final section in first class style as the Jacobite Express steam train meanders its way from Fort William to Mallaig. From here you take the ferry ‘over the sea to Skye‘ to your hotel with an acclaimed restaurant, then enjoy a full day private tour of the island. Scotland at its best!

Sustainable Travel

This holiday is part of our ever-growing collection of public transport based holidays, enabling you to reach destinations around Scotland – including the Isle of Skye – without the need to drive. We feel strongly that true sustainability also means promoting and helping to maintain a way of life in areas where the economic benefit of tourism can make a genuine difference to the local community, which is why we have used local guides on this holiday.

Location

This twin centre holiday features Fort William and the Isle of Skye. The holiday starts and finishes in Glasgow. We can also customise this to include Edinburgh – less than an hour’s rail journey from Glasgow. We can also arrange travel from London by Caledonian Sleeper in first class or other daytime services.


Pricing

£2195 per person for April & October, £2275 per person for May to September.

Prices based on 2 people sharing a room for 3 nights with dinner, bed & breakfast.  This includes train travel from Glasgow to Fort William on the regular First Scotrail service, travel by Jacobite steam train from Fort William to Mallaig first class, a return ferry to Skye as foot passenger and return transfers to the hotel on Skye. It also includes a private day tour of the Isle of Skye with a local guide. The return from Mallaig to Glasgow will be on the regular Scotrail service.

The single supplement for this holiday is £1380.

We can also arrange for a private road transfer from Mallaig to Glasgow or Edinburgh for an additional £200 per person (based on a minimum of two travellers).

Before your departure, you will receive personalised holiday information including full directions, recommended routes, and suggestions on places to visit depending on your interests and our local knowledge to help you get the most from your holiday.

All itineraries and room types are presented subject to availability at specific hotels.

We work hard to make sure the unexpected doesn’t affect your trip. On rare occasions, changes or cancellations may occur, affecting accommodation, transport or excursions, including the Jacobite Express Steam Train. We are committed to informing you of any such circumstances and will use our knowledge and resources to offer suitable alternatives wherever possible.
