Destination
guide
Fort William
Fort William sits amongst some of the
most spectacular scenery in the world.
As the UK’s Outdoor Capital, it offers
unrivalled skiing, walking and sporting
opportunities for all the family. For
those who enjoy an extreme challenge,
Ben Nevis provides an unforgettable
climb and the Mountain Bike World Cup
is a fantastic spectacle.
Home to many a lively ceilidh – where
the celebrated local malt is the toast of
the guests - it is an idyllic escape.
Inverness
As a gateway to the Highlands,
Inverness has matured to become one
of the UK’s most spectacular cities.
Not only is it a stone’s throw away
from the banks of Loch Ness, it offers
a wealth of cultural and shopping
attractions.
There is nothing quite like starting
your day with a hunt for Nessie in the
warm glow of a Highland sunrise.
Castles, historic ruins and colourful
tales mean you’re never far away
from discovering the Highlands’ rich
heritage.
Aberdeen
Far more than just the Granite City,
Aberdeen has established itself as
an unmissable shopping, dining and
entertainment destination.
As well as being home to the oil and
gas sector, Aberdeen is the north east’s
go-to spot for art, theatre, music and
festivals.
And for fans of the Royal Family, the
chance to travel to nearby Balmoral will
prove irresistible.TRAVEL GUIDE AND TIMETABLES | 17
You can now book your tickets up to
12 months in advance at sleeper.scot
Edinburgh
Castles, dungeons, ghosts and
tunnels give Scotland’s capital an
air of mystique, but there’s more to
Edinburgh than history and creepy
tales.
Known as the Festival City,
Edinburgh traditionally comes alive
in August when art, comedy, film,
music, dance and book festivals are
all held.
Most famous of all is the Edinburgh
Festival Fringe, held every August in
the Unesco City of Literature.
Glasgow
Wake up in Glasgow to enjoy the
famous west coast welcome and
discover a city with more to offer
than you think.
With a real passion for live music,
sport and comedy, Scotland’s
largest city is well-known for its
entertainers.
A haven for shoppers thanks to the
Style Mile, Merchant City and the
West End, Glasgow’s time in the
spotlight is sure to extend far beyond
hosting 2014’s Commonwealth
Games.
London
A hub for business, entertainment
and leisure, the UK’s capital is one of
the country’s liveliest destinations.
Visiting attractions such as the
famous Tower Bridge and Buckingham
Palace to hidden gems such as the
Merton Abbey Mills craft village
makes every trip to London unique.
Extensive transport links and Euston
Station’s central location make it an
attractive arrival point for business
commuters too.18 | CALEDONIAN SLEEPER
