Join us on this rare and beautiful trip through Fife and along the Firth of Forth featuring a journey over one of the great railway engineering masterpieces of the world, The Forth Bridge.
This tour departs Edinburgh Waverley and takes us over the towering structure of the Forth Bridge, with striking views across to the road bridge and out to sea. We will then head in to Fife and make our way along the coast towards Kirkcaldy, passing the Castle and beach at Aberdour and the beaches at Burntisland and Kinghorn, before turning back inland via Dunfermline.
The train will then head along the Forth Estuary onto a rarely used goods only line which has stunning views. This part of the route takes us along more than 5 miles of coastline, while passing the historic village of Culross and the edge of Torry Bay Local Nature Reserve. We then pass through Alloa and along the reopened route to Stirling, looping round the Western end of the estuary. Having crossed the Forth River at Stirling we head south through Falkirk, before arriving back into Edinburgh Waverley.
A sumptuous culinary experience amidst opulent surroundings, where guests can relax in plush armchair seating arranged around tables for two or four. Attentive service enhances the ambiance with old‑world charm and sophistication, transporting you to a world of nostalgia and comfort.
On a half‑day journey, guests are welcomed on board with our signature Champagne cocktail, followed by a seasonal carte du jour, and concluding with coffee and petit fours.
First Class invites guests to step back in time aboard beautifully restored carriages, with spacious seating at tables for two or four.
A haven for those seeking a refined, leisurely journey without dining on board, guests are welcomed with a glass of fizz and freshly brewed coffee or tea. Relax as scenic vistas unfold beyond the windows. You may order afternoon tea (supplement applies), request drinks from our stewards, or bring your own picnic on board.
