Is Scotland accessible by train?
There are rail connections to each of Scotland’s eight cities, as well as links to many towns and villages across the country. We found it well worth it to station ourselves in Edinburgh and opt for a day trip to Glasgow, as Edinburgh is catered more to tourists with more to see and do than Glasgow itself.
What is the cheapest way to see Scotland?
There are many factors which can affect the price of travelling around Scotland, from the time of year to how far in advance you book tickets. However, two of the cheapest ways to explore more than one part of the country are by train and by small group tour. By train.
