Itinerary

Day One : Edinburgh

Day Two : Spean Bridge - Bridge of Orchy

After breakfast, the Highlands call. Your immersion in the great outdoors begins with RVIVAL, whose elite guides lead you into your chosen pursuit — whether that's testing your nerve on a high-ropes challenge or striding out across raw, untamed terrain. Today is about humanity's ancient relationship with the land: how it sustains us, shapes our stories, and teaches the skills required to live in true balance with nature.

Under the guidance of RVIVAL's traditional skills experts, you'll spend the day foraging and exploring a secluded "treasure island," decoding the wisdom hidden in its flora and fauna and practising elemental traditions passed down through generations. Expect a primal fire-feast picnic, with seasonal ingredients cooked over open flames, wild-crafted cocktails, the bracing exhilaration of swimming in a loch or river, and the quiet magic of conversation as the campfire crackles.

As evening falls, return to the train at Spean Bridge for the civilised comforts of a hot shower, followed by a generous dram (or two) of fine whisky and a beautifully prepared dinner — the perfect counterpoint to a day spent immersed in the wild.

Day Three : Wemyss Bay

Today, the focus shifts to water and the wild edge of the coast. After a leisurely morning on board, disembark at Wemyss Bay to meet the RVIVAL guides, before crossing by WWII landing craft to the Isle of Bute — a fittingly raw arrival to a place shaped by tide and time.

The day unfolds at the shoreline: foraging for sea herbs and shells, learning the coastal skills and hard-won knowledge once vital to human survival. Together, you'll prepare lobster, crab and scallops — dived fresh by the RVIVAL team — cooked slowly over open flames. Taste coastal delicacies gathered that very day, take the option of an invigorating ocean swim, or simply surrender to the rhythm of the waves.

As the fire crackles, RVIVAL's specialists share stories and traditions that deepen our connection to the sea, while a fireside feast of celebratory dishes pays tribute to the land, the water and their abundance.

In the early evening, return to Wemyss Bay and rejoin the train for a final night of warmth and indulgence on board — cosy, refined and deeply restorative after a day at the ocean's edge.

Day Four : Wemyss Bay - Edinburgh

Basking in a newfound sense of tranquility and armed with fresh skills, savor a leisurely breakfast as the train gracefully winds its way back to Edinburgh. Allow the gentle rhythm of the tracks to lull you into a state of contentment, as the memories of your enriching journey linger in the air. Take this time to reflect on the experiences that have transformed your adventure into a tapestry of cherished moments.
