Scottish Express
This Express is just a Heaven
Prologue
Scotrail ( SR ) has very good connection to all Scotland. South from Carlisle
North to Thurso and East from Aberdeen West to Kyle. All train route has the greatest
peaceful scenery, sheep & cow family. The weather of scotland is not much good as
Asian beach, but I can't forget the heaven which I saw the peaceful scene in Scotland.

Contents
The service of SR (ScotRail) is excellent at Central rail station at Edinburgh.
If you go to Scotland, you feel some expensive than Japan, But Scotrail is
different from others. I can say it's cheap. You will see what kind of benefit
you can get as a tourist.
Scotrail Routes
If you use some Scotrail pass you can travel more freely & save your money.
Personally I strongly recommand to take on Highland Line & North highland Line.
Scotrail has mainly 4 routes in Scotland.
First, the Highland Line is Edinburgh <---> Inverness.
Second the North highland Line is Inverness <---> Turso.
Third the West highland Line is Glassgow <---> Mallaig.
Fourth the Tayside & Grampian Line is Edinburgh <---> Aberdeen <---> Inverness.
Please enjoy before you go.

Scotrail Pass
Scotrail system is well developed as other European countries.
It's much cheaper than British Rail Pass and if you really want to explore
something different world, you should better get this Scotrail Pass.
Those Rail Passes are ,I think, you can't buy in Japan as Finrail Pass so far.
Just go any big rail station and ask information about Scotrail Pass to the officer.
There are mainly three choices in Scotrail Pass.
First any 4 out of 8 consecutive days --- about 14,000 Yen
Second any 8 out of 15 consecutive days --- about 20,000 Yen
Third any 12 out of 15 consecutive days --- about 24,000 Yen
Those Passes cover whole Scotland with Rail, Citylink Bus (Express bus) and Ferry link to domestic services.
Just one thing remember! Those Pass prices are for Second Class.
And one more is if you are first time to use rail pass in you life, hold the Pass
& let you show to train officer when he or she comes to check your ticket.
Please don't write anything on Pass before checking. If you are not first time, you know more than me!
Here is Sample of Scotrail Pass, Regular ticket, Information Pamphlet & Telephone card.
Please enjoy before you go.
