Getting Here

Rail
Daytime direct services from London on the east coast mainline stop at Aviemore, as does the overnight sleeper from London Euston on the west coast mainline. Depart from London Euston in the evening, dine on board, have a good night’s sleep, to awake next morning with a view of the Highlands as your backdrop for breakfast. Visit the Scotrail website for full details. There are also many trains from Glasgow and Edinburgh, connecting with services from further south.
