Comment from Philippa Burne
Travelling by train is one of the best ways to see a place—you get to relax and let someone else do the driving, and you can gaze out the window at the scenery. This is particularly true in Scotland where the passing scenery is some of the most beautiful in the world—in fact, don’t think about the travel as getting from point A to point B but as the journey in itself.
One of the best trips is on the West Highland Line from Glasgow. You can head to Oban on the west coast and from there take a ferry to the Isle of Mull or Barra in the Outer Hebrides.
