On the (rail) road to Scotland

Train travel is by far my favourite way to travel. I don't know why it's not more popular.

I particularly enjoy being able to read, look out the window at the scenery AND drink coffee. 

Bliss.

This is us heading to Scotland from London, having spent overnight in a Hotel near Heathrow. We decided not to hire a car and drive like we have before (over about five days). And I'm glad we did. We were able to relax and enjoy the changes in scenery, and arrive in Edinburgh with enough time to enjoy exploring our truly delightful apartment (thank you Morag!) before heading out for food.
