Today i'm taking one of the world’s most luxurious trains, the famous Royal Scotsman in First Class. Millie & I will spend five days onboard in a private ensuite bedroom, as we explore the beautiful Scottish highlands. Starting in Edinburgh we'll head North towards Inverness and after stable overnight in a siding, continue on to the Isle of Skye. I'll show you exactly what it's like on this once in a lifetime trip... especially given ticket prices are north of $15,000. This is the first fully documented trip available on TH-cam, so join us and find out for real what it's like. From two dining rooms, an observation car with the only outside viewing platform in Europe plus a variety of exciting off train activities like seal spotting and exploring a privately owned castle.
Thanks to my friend Jarvis, for assisting in all the finer details when booking this trip. If you'd like to do something similar please check out his website: theluxurytraveller.com/

Thanks for watching - next week I’m heading across the ocean in a very different kind of video 🚢
Are you a Sagittarius? Makes sense why you like to travel so much! Happy Birthday! :)
@Visit Cornwall With Me. the astro sign of sagittarius born in nov/dec. loves the travel!
I love watching your stuff. Best train and plane reviews on TH-cam. But I have one issue. You and your girl aren't married. Make her an honest woman and have some children. You're beautiful together. You're ready, trust me.
Ha ha really!? Keep the travel videos coming only.
Davy Holt who entertained you all in Aviemore, is a well known Traditional Scottish Musician and a friend of mine !!! And loves his Drams.
you are so lucy brother...i lost many years with drugs.. i am clean since 2014!! i have never been abroad (i am greek)...i lost many years but i hope one day i will start seeing many many countries and people to love and communicate...peace n love man...peace n love, cheers!
Never too late. U will have more good years Ahead God Willing.
Really cool that this train stops for the overnight. Not only does it ensure better sleep but you don't miss any of the incredible landscapes! Also great that you had these sightseeing breaks to see the seals, taste whisky, and that kind of thing. This is my kind of train excursion
May I also point out that Millie is an absolute delight - so glad to see her in this episode
Honestly, I am totally speechless! I have watched every vlog of yours & every single one of them is utterly SUPERB, but this is way beyond anything I expected! Living vicariously through your spectacular travel adventures takes one away from the drudgery of daily life & allows you to dream of the possibilities. Your videos beat any travel TV show by a long shot, the outstanding quality of your productions, your scrupulous attention to detail & your commentary & information is par excellence!! THANK YOU for taking us with you!!
Thank you so much for watching David, really appreciate the kind words
Your travel logs have gotten better each year. ❤ Millie was great too see. She is a keeper. I have had to start Dialysis’ and your videos still allow me to travel through your eyes. 😊
What a kind comment Walter. Wishing you all the best as you start Dialysis and take good care of yourself. 🦋
Yes, I also armchair travel. Positive thoughts, wishes and prayers for you.
All the best mate
Hope you're doing great here six months later!

Millie was absolutely the highlight of this video. Stunning scenery but personally, I would have starved on this trip except for the one sea scallop. I do sincerely appreciate all your time and effort to share this experience and I personally take it as a warning to cross train travel in Scotland of my bucket list. Sincerely appreciate you taking the time and effort to give us clear screen shots of the menu. When one is trapped on a train for 5 days food is certainly a priority. Thanks for the time taken to film, edit, and find such amazing background music.
My husband would starve for sure. He is the worlds pickiest eater; he would refuse pretty much everything except for the steak or the lamb. He’d probably sneak off to find a McDonald’s whenever he had a chance. I however, am a total foodie and I will try anything once. I’ve never had haggis but I would definitely be willing to give it a go if I were there.
@@FightingIncorrectStereotypes Haggis is amazing..don’t think of the ingredients just base your opinion on the taste. Its similar to sausage..if you like sausage you’ll like haggis. 😊
I’m sure they have a kids menu 😂😂 joking aside im pretty sure they have alternatives for people with other dietary requirements and or tastes.
I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t leave you to starve, I’d imagine they would somehow managed to rustle you up a hamburger or pizza whilst everyone else enjoyed their 5* food!
Lol.
@@FightingIncorrectStereotypes the world's pickiest eaters and he would sneak out to McDonalds? What the hell...
This appeared to be the best train journey you've ever reviewed. Don't know why I didn't expect it to be Scotland but it indeed was Scotland.
Scotland is the best.
Scotland is full of surprises
I'd be on the outdoor observation deck the entire time. A deck chair, pillows, blankets, and a bottle of wine. Heaven.
Thank you! I had an 18 month visit to Scotland that covered 1984-85. Absolutely did not see enough! Skied in the Cairngorms, visited Edinburgh, stayed over at Loch Ness and so on. The people were incredible and the views breath taking! The ones you video I like the best are where it takes more than 2 days! Again thanks for showing me travel way out of my budget!
This was, hands down, the most fantastic trip I've seen ! Not only was the train & its amenities stunning, but all the side excursions were wonderful! I especially loved the dancing on the platform. Was also thrilled that the most beauteous Millie was able to join you! 😍
It was a very good video.
I also have a channel, but I really like Trek Trendy's travel videos and admire them:)
This trip, at $3K per day is just designed for mostly American rich tourists. Excellent all around, no doubt, but nothing remotely like the old upper class experience of the original 19th century travelers, who would be seriously embarrassed by pipers etc. at platforms. More like a Disneyland for tourists from the US with some vague Scottish connection lol.
You really have started to master your craft. I’ve been watching you from pretty much the beginning and you are really, genuinely one of the best and most likeable youtube traveler bloggers. Keep up the great work
🙏🏼 thank you so much for the kind words James, it means a lot
@@Trektrendy You deserve your success. You have come a long way and I remember watching you at 3 in the morning when you were in the Ukraine that was when my now 6yr old was up all night as a baby. Covid and 2 small children has meant our Jet-setting has been reduced to staycations so it’s nice to live vicariously through you.
I agree 100%.
Your channel is the absolute best.
@@Trektrendy I completely agree.
lol
Good on you Will - your professionalism, attention to detail and friendliness stands out amidst all of these travel vlogs. The videos are very enjoyable to watch for those of us living far away. Keep up the good work.
Millie is so elegant, and poised, what a lovely travel duo y’all are! more of her please!!! Loved this video probably my favorite of yours so far!! Happy belated ! :)
Can we Scottish subscribers be upstanding for several reasons;
1. An extraordinary adventure to and through our breath-taking Scottish Highlands
2. An exceptional video and review of one of the world's greatest train excursions
3. A huge Happy Birthday to the incomparable Trek Trendy Will
4. And a massive Scottish shout out to the extraordinary and beautiful Millie.
Both of you are welcome in Scotland anytime.
Scotland's not that great. We've got Nicola sturgeon and minimum unit alcohol pricing, probably because of years of poor education. Loads of other issues of course. Not saying England is better, although it is. I'm Scottish by the the way.
@Kenny Brunton give it a break. Its a travel review ffs. Keep the politics out of it.
You're part of the problem.
@@mothtv alright Kenny and you are probably lining up to kiss uncle Andrews ring on the 6th
@@mothtv 😫
So proud to say I’m Scottish 🏴💙🤍
I had just started seeing ads for the Royal Scotsman trips, and here you pop up with a full report! Wonderful camera work and great Google-Earthing to show us the surroundings of each stop. Enjoyed this virtual trip. Thank you again.
Scotland is blessed with beautiful nature landscapes ❤
As someone who’s watched nearly every video of yours, this one stands out. An overall amazing experience & you documented it so well. Always looking forward to future adventures 😊
Im so happy that you posted your meals. I think food is such an important part of culture
I've lived in Dundee for a couple of months 3 years ago for my semester abroad and Ceilidh Dancing was one of my favourite things to do. My flat mate and I went to so many dances. And as a German experiencing Scottish culture that way was the best thing to happen because it was mostly Scots going Ceilidhing. Also vegan Haggis, best food in the world!
Have to give a shout out to another vegan haggis eater. 😀
my condolences, nobody should have to go to Dundee
You've had the trip of a lifetime several times now....
Well done Sir.
Now you & MIllie can watch "The Highlander" over & over for a few nights, and get the full effect.....
I love your videos. I could never afford that, but it looks amazing... We can sit at home & live vicariously through you....
Hi Will and Millie! Happy belated birthday, Will! This looks like a wonderful trip. I will add this to my Scottish to do list. Thank you for bringing us along.
You never cease to amaze me with your reviews each one gets better. Glad to see Millie as you both make a great pair. Please keep the reviews coming. Aloha and thank you.
Of all the videos I have seen this train ride was by far the most cosy and pleasant of all. So many activities and the fact it was so personal. Even down to thanking the staff, its just very nice
The music that you or your editor put in the background really makes the videos! Love the stories of your travels. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching and appreciate it - I edit all my own content :)
Millie is so beautiful! Her new haircut suits her. This looks like an amazing trip full of beautiful scenery, and just all around fun.
Millie looks lovely! Happy Birthday to you!
Several years ago, I spent 3 weeks in Scotland and enjoyed my visit to Inverness. It's fun seeing some familiar sights. Now, that was a fun trip. I made much the same trip by car staying in B & B's along the way, with the trip going round to Dundee and back to Edinburgh. Thanks for the sights!
What an amazing trip. I hope you and Millie get a chance to take a trip on the ultra exclusive Royal Canadian Pacific train someday. It has a max of 30 passengers per trip and the train is gorgeous.
You never disappoint... Yet another stunning video of one of my top bucket list trips! Thank you so much for making such magical videos... They never ever get old!
This Millie lass seems like a right proper lady. Have her on more!
What a gorgeous countryside!!! I have added this trip to my bucket list and hell, I'd even try the haggis! The train looked so comfortable and elegant and the trips out each day looked like so much fun. The castle was stunning, but I couldn't imagine wanting to live in one. The music and dancing and whiskey...😍😍😍
What a beautiful travelogue you put together, Will, greatly enhanced by the beautiful Millie.
Millie just seemed so genuinely happy in these shots that she comes off as radiant (I hope you appreciate her!)
I'm old enough to be Millie's grandma and would be thrilled to have a granddaughter like her.
I love train travel and once took a seedy Amtrak overnight (19-hours) from NYC to Florida -- even though the train had seen better days, with my private roomette, I loved it!
Would love it even more if I could meet train fans my age (mid-70's) who were up for train travel.
Keep up the good work and enjoy these great trips!
Absolutely stunning landscape and such a wondrous journey, thanks for taking us with you!
Happy Blessed Belated Birthday Will. What a fabulous way to celebrate it. Just WOW! I'm still relatively new to your channel but I have to say this is by far my favorite adventure for several reasons. One being it was on my husbands "bucket list" because he was Scot-American and always planned to visit "when I retire". He passed 20 yrs shy of retirement. This made me feel close to him as I got to enjoy through you and lovely Millie what he longed to see. Thank you. Next time will you also show us what Millie chose to eat as well if it's different from yours? Also your beautiful Millie looks gorgeous with her new hairstyle and I loved her attire , very classy. AND she interacted with us a bit more. Awesome adventure. Loved it.
i highly recommend you visit Edinburgh its such a lovely city and its my place of birth there is so much to see and do while in the city you will every minute of being there and want to come back again and again to see it xx
By far, the most fun video yet! Millie’s new hair is gorgeous on her! I absolutely love it when you both travel together. BTW, so jealous of your visit to Edinburgh. Made me tear up immediately when I remembered the late Prince Philip. Thanks for this trip, so appreciated!
Love your train videos. So inspiring!! You and Millie always look so fabulous together. Safe travels. All the best! Sending love from Canada!
Always enjoy your videos, but extra lovely when Millie is along. What a fabulous trip- one for the bucket list!
Millie and Will in this video you both looked beautiful. Your journey through Scotland was original and breathtaking. Thank you for taking the trip. I’m enlightened by it. God bless you. Happy Christmas.
My dude. You're videos help me relax after a long day. If you ate ever here in New Zealand we have a great train journey between Christchurch and Picton. The costal express. Would love to journey with you
same
Such an amazing video, I’m a driver and fireman on a steam railway in the Yorkshire dales and it’s amazing to see how rail travel has evolved and the class is still there and you explain and portray it brilliantly so thank you…… and I’m so jealous!
Except in the US. Some of the rooms still have the toilet right next to your seat. No privacy whatsoever. Idk if people actually use them but yeah the US doesn't invest in any of the public transportation.
I have been watching your videos for awhile, I see others that try to do what you do, there is no comparison. I see that you comment on there videos and your very kind. In my opinion you have what makes me come back !!! Thanks for all you do!!!
More trips with Millie are needed pls 😭😭
I’ve been considering exploring Scotland by train and as usual, your really reeling me in. Another wonderful video. Thanks for sharing and lovely to see you and Millie enjoying your trip!
Loved the video and can't wait to try the product. Nice to see Millie too. So pleasing to the eye and with a personality to match, she is as much a highlight as the stunning highland scenery.
Just marvelous. As an aside, I must say, Millie is looking more beautiful than ever -- and I do believe she is happier! Something else might be up in the heart of that girl, and I think it's love! Thanks for sharing with us such wonderful journeys.
Happy Birthday Will!! As always so much better with Millie along for the luxury train trips. You should never do them without her, she adds so much to the experience for you as well as these should be as shared experience with your partner. ❤
I spent two weeks touring the highlands and a more awe inspiring place I have yet to find. It is majestic. A land of the free. You feel as if you are the only one in the world. The isolated places, small villages and company of the famous cattle is a pleasure. I loved it.
I had so much fun! You really do an amazing job of sharing your journey with us! Thank you!
I love how much you and Millie love each other. It's so sweet seeing the two of you travel together.
She's clearly keen on you ! When you are getting hitched?
Omg I subbed to you when you were so small and commented love to you because I knew if you kept it up you would grow so much and look at this, I come to check you out and over half a million subs??? You earned it because you didnt give up, congrats mate keep it up.
So glad Millie joined you for this one. Truly remarkable videography and what a trip.!
Another great trip! Thanks for taking me along!
Millie is really sweet glad you two are happy!!!
Gosh darn, you are really good. Well shot, well-edited, well presented. Your site is an adult toy store of a sort. I think I learned more about Scotland right here than I ever heard in my entire life. And I should, since I have significant Scottish ancestry.
Beautiful trip! You and Millie are the best together. Thank you. David
Scotland has many 5 star experiences,this is a shining example of what you can experience here in the most scenic nation on earth, and its well worth a visit, no matter your budget.
Is there anything you would recommend? I am in Glasgow so can travel easily. Looking to start having more memorable experiences
WOW! I feel like I've travelled all over Scotland with you both. Amazing, really enjoyed it 😍
Lovely video and many faces I recognise. I spent many happy hours driving that train over those routes and especially nice to see the culinary creations of my friend, Executive Chef Mark Tamburrini and his team.
Thank you for Millie sharing your adventure.
Strikingly beautiful.
I have only found your videos about a week ago but I have been eating them up. Their is just something so kind and genuine about your videos and now it makes me want to take a train. I love how you share your trips with your loved ones as well and lets not forget that wonderful joke from Millie at the end lol.
Well, you have just given me another adventure to add to my bucket list! Such a beautiful train with incredible scenery and food! Thanks for one of your best travelogues from Scotland! Love your journeys and your personable dialogue and highlights.
Loved this trip the scenery is staggering the train amazing. It was nice to Millie again hope she’s back soon 👍😍
This episode of all the ones of yours I've seen so far is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!
I look forward to many more LIKE THIS! I am a fan of rail travel and flying! Enjoy mountain adventures either and luxury stays there and would love to see your input stays at luxury CLAMPING! Your presentations are extremely well done, thanks!
I don’t usually leave comments but you are absolutely my favorite TH-camr. Great content and can’t wait for more! Thank you
Wow! How beautiful is that landscape. I wonder if anyone can take a similar car trip. It would have been nice to hear a conversation or two. They have their own dialect there.
I love the look of the inside of the train. The decor is beautiful. So cool.
I didn’t think your videos could get any better, but then you added Millie! Smart man. :) All the best and thank you for sharing a fantastic trip!
What a great trip, and such a lovely train! You and Millie look fabulous!!Happy belated birthday!
Millie was the star passenger with Will coming in a close 2nd.
This trip appears to be very popular and if I had £15k to spare would try it with my wife for sure.
The Scottish Highlands are just amazing...👍
Millie is the best part of this video! I demand more Millie!
What a fantastically professional, detailed and informative video. Absolutely amazing. Thank you!!
A beautiful trip on a spectacular Scottish train and lovely Millie added to that beauty and what a most wonderful way to celebrate your birthday. Your videos are always a joy to watch and this one has been one of the best.
It's on *a* Scottish £50 note but not *the* Scottish £50 note. The Royal Bank of Scotland, the Bank of Scotland and Clydesdale Bank are all allowed to print Bank notes, and they all have their own designs. Inverness Castle features on an old withdrawn design of RBS banknote, the current ones have an osprey instead, while the Bank of Scotland current design features the Falkirk Wheel. Clydesdale doesn't currently print a £50 note at all.
She's not gonna shag ya mate
Also the Kessok Bridge is on the Bank of Scotland £100 note too. 😄
Happy birthday Will!! Another excellently filmed and edited video, and of course thanks for including your better half Millie. Also congrats on passing 500k subs. Wow that was fast!❤️✈️🎉
Absolutely amazing trip ❤️
The best yet!!
Beautiful scenery, train and other half, well done bro!
Love watching your review and luxurious travel experience as well as seeing you and Millie enjoy. The mixed wood veneer treatment of walls of the cabin, the lighting and plush seats, and the cuisine looked really great and classy. A plus was the opportunity given to passengers to explore the places where you made the stop. Only noticed that social spaces were sometimes cramped like the dining car where I can see elbows of seatmates brush each other while eating or the observation car at the start of the trip. A luxurious experience i think includes having generous spaces to enjoy.
I love the video. I recognised the island and rocks where you spotted the seals. As when I was younger we went on holiday a few times to the farm across the water and would swim out to the island.
Along with the farms swimming lama's
Lovely to see you both. What a wonderful trip!
Really enjoy the videos with Millie.
I have to say the excursions looked fantastic!
What a wonderful trip. I love Scotland, lived in Edinburgh for a time. You are both lovely. Thank you.
Scotland is really beautiful, and Edinburgh last week was also beautiful. Recently, I can get a discount on train tickets by using the discount in my channel description.
Happy birthday Will! Also, another vote for more Millie whenever she's available!
@acedudeism oh, go away
Brilliant, just brilliant - i love the fact it stops at night as well - Edinburgh, Aviemore and Inverness are the most beautiful cities and the haggis is delicious 👍❤️👍❤️
I enjoyed this very much as a 100% Scott from Canada. The views are lovely and this trip was outstanding. Happiest of Birthdays too you that was! Thanks for sharing
I have to say I enjoy a moving sleeper train. It’s relaxing to me.
I am honored to watch this nice video and to be the first comment and you sound like some type of narrator, and I like it😊
Happy Belated Birthday! It's obvious how much you two are in love. What a beautiful 5 days with two beautiful people
This looked absolutely fantastic! Wow 🤩 what a beautiful journey. Loved seeing this 😊
Millie looks particularly beautiful!
Happy belated birthday boss great to see this amazing train journey and you sampling some good whiskey and also to see your good lady Millie, so keep up the good vlogs
*whisky, since he’s in Scotland. The ‘e’ is for other countries.
@@regularguy3665 not quite getting this reply but if it helps my sister in law is Scottish and my brother and sister in law live near Aberdeen and have visited the local distilleries near to their house so have some understanding of whiskey 🥃 but still not sure wot u are getting at
@@neilgandhi5565 Scottish (Scotch?) whisky is addressed without the ‘e’ between the k and y. Whiskey made in other countries (Ireland, USA or whatever) includes said ‘e’.
@@amymahoney3513 not to me but hey it’s an honest mistake
@@amymahoney3513 not really, no. About as pointless as you commenting on it. The difference in the spelling is irrelevant to me because I’m not a Scot. But someone would be along soon to make sure the difference is known even if I hadn’t.
What a joy to listen to the very talented, expert piper!! How fun. Certainly enjoying your blog!!
Thanks for sharing this lovely excursion w/all of us! 💐
Wow! That certainly seems like the best rail trip so far! I'd love to go on it someday.
Have you heard of the 7 Stars Kyushu? That would make a great video, I'd love to see that train.
Millie is a welcome addition. The trip looks amazing albeit a Scottish dance in a castle and a few more castle visits would make it perfect
What an amazing experience. One to forever remember.
Thank you for your video.
This looks not only very formal and serious but great fun thank you for facts and figures along the journey I think they really make your videos shine
Millie's new hair style looks sensational!
I'm also in awe of her ability to keep her bangs perfectly pulled back with her ponytail! My flyaway ass could never.
This train virtually passes my house in Inverness, however I have never seen a video on it before - Good to see! (however I have never heard Ord pronounced as Ood before ;-) )
Just be glad he didn't go to Avoch!
Think he got it wrong about singleton being the only single malt whisky on the Black Isle, Tain has Glenmorangie. Then Dalmore at Alness.
Another superb video Will. You did a fantastic job showing off Scotland. Looks like you and Millie had a brilliant time.
It’s nice to see you bring Millie along with a few times. Love your channel man. Keep it real.
