Michelin-starred Chef Tom Kitchin, Scotland’s most celebrated culinary star, partners with the Royal Scotsman and culminates in “A Taste of Scotland,” a gastronomic adventure that invites guests to savour the essence of Scotland’s culinary landscape. With his philosophy of “From Nature-to-Plate,” Kitchin crafts a tantalizing exploration of the country’s indigenous produce, celebrating the bounty of the Scottish larder.<\/p>\n

The second day features country pursuits at Rothiemurchus Estate, in the heart of the Cairngorms National Park. Here, guests enjoy a lunch barbecue by the quaint Lochside bothy before visiting the legendary Benromach distillery in Forres for a tour and expert-led whisky tasting. The journey concludes with a Gala dinner as the train travels south towards Dundee. Each meal is a symphony of flavour, showcasing Scotland’s finest ingredients, artfully prepared to create a harmonious balance of taste and texture.<\/p>\n
