This special tour offers a journey on the fabulous ‘Midland Pullman’ to the heart of Scotland’s capital where shopping is always a unique experience but at Christmas – it’s truly magical, when the gardens beneath Edinburgh Castle are transformed into a Winter Wonderland with traditional Christmas markets.

We travel along the Northumberland coast and through the beautiful Scottish Lowlands to Edinburgh for an afternoon break of around 3 hours. The station is located just below one of the UK’s most historic and popular shopping areas – Princes Street, with its beautifully lit trees and international stores on one side and a traditional German & Scottish Highland Christmas Market on the other.

There is something for everyone in this truly enchanting city with numerous attractions all within easy walking distance – from the giant Christmas wheel that lights up the sky high above the festive gardens, perhaps take a stroll down the Royal Mile to the Palace of Holyroodhouse or visit the impressive fortress of Edinburgh Castle. Scotland’s capital offers a magical combination of festive lights, Christmas events and unique yuletide atmosphere.
