A Royal Train Journey Through Scotland

A near-royal journey awaits passengers of The Royal Scotsman: The Deluxe Tremors Train from April to October from Edinburgh Waverley Station to the Scottish Highlands. The Dream Journey: Just like Queen Victoria, traditional train drivers take 36 people through the Western Highlands. When you look at the almost pristine nature with all the fresh water lakes, swamps and rolling hills, you will feel nostalgic. After all, the train has been running along the roads since 1985. Filmmaker Janine Apsel has already worked as an author on such documentaries as “AusCalculated Island” (2018) and “AusCalculated New Zealand” (2016), and as a director on “Unterwegs in Scotland” taking viewers on The 331-kilometre route covered by the Royal Scotsman.

It’s a film that will particularly appeal to a growing number of established Scotland fans. Because the documentary, well worth watching, digs into past places that are just as worth seeing as they are steeped in history.

Man and nature go hand in hand in Scotland

Every year around 17 million tourists from all over the world travel to Britain’s northernmost country to experience the rugged beauty of Scotland. Highlights include Loch Ness as one of the most famous of the 30,000 lakes, Loch Lommond or Glenfinnan Viaduct, the so-called ‘Harry Potter’ bridge. They shouldn’t be missing out as a travelogue in this movie either. Documentation focuses on the effects of humans on nature. For example, London-based media designer Kate Fieldhouse is undertaking a number of reforestation projects to revive the lush mixed forest as it was 6,000 years ago. Claire Campbell has specialized in the ecological production of clothing in the typical tartan style. The ZDF documentary shows the extent to which she had to get involved in raising sheep.

Absal focuses on emphasizing the tension between man and nature. Not only is the Royal Scotsman impressive with 231m and 3,300hp under the hood, but it also seems like the perfect way to look into the past, recognizing the changes and mistakes made by human hands and the charm of the rugged regions of Scotland’s realization. Park ranger Louise Millne works to raise awareness among guests and tourists on Inchcailloch Island in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
