Headed for lands north, where castles, mountains and two grand train journeys await, we meet our group at Loch Lomond. Our rooms for the following three evenings at the prestigious Cameron House Hotel boast loch views.

With two full days to enjoy, there are plenty of Your World experiences on offer including a private speedboat cruise of the loch, a seaplane flight, or a ferry crossing to the Isle of Arran. Perhaps visit the ruins of Kilchurn Castle and the Inveraray Castle and Gardens or venture into Glasgow to explore the arts and culture scene. Maybe tee off at the Carrick at Loch Lomond golf course or indulge in a pamper session at our hotel’s spa.

We take a short tour of Edinburgh before boarding the Belmond Royal Scotsman, for our four-night journey through the Highlands, and travel west along the Moray Firth and towards the Kyle of Lochalsh. In Plockton we are invited to enjoy a Your World experience including a boat trip on Loch Carron, whisky tasting at the Plockton Hotel or a visit to Eilean Donan castle.

A visit to the Glen Ord Distillery begins our day before arriving at Ballindalloch Castle in Speyside. Your World experiences include a private tour through the castle, playing nine holes of golf on the castle’s own course or joining an exclusive visit of the Ballindalloch Distillery, followed by a tasting, as is custom.

The Rothiemurchus Estate extends from the River Spey at Aviemore to the Cairngorm Summit Plateau. Immerse yourself in the outdoors with a range of Your World experiences including trout fishing, clay pigeon shooting or a tour of the estate. Later we visit Glamis Castle, childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Mother. In Perth, we rejoin our train for the journey to Dundee.

On our return to Edinburgh this morning, we farewell the Belmond Royal Scotsman for an in-depth city tour, before dining at the Pompadour Restaurant. Run by Michelin-starred brothers, Chris and Jeff Galvin, we are treated to some of the country’s finest cuisine.

We fly to Belfast and tour the region’s acclaimed landmarks. Beginning with a visit to the Bushmills Distillery, we continue to the epic Giant’s Causeway before looping back to Belfast to enjoy further discoveries over our two days here. On a city tour we delve into Belfast’s icons, history and myths before a visit to the Titanic Experience and time for your own exploration.

Just under two hours’ drive away, we arrive in Dublin for an overnight stay at the Hotel Westbury. We acquaint ourselves with the city’s considerable charms ahead of a more extensive city tour to complete our picture of the Irish capital. Then, bound for Cork, we board the Belmond Grand Hibernian at Dublin Heuston Station, heading south with a visit to the famed Jameson Distillery on our arrival.
