Senic Rating: **
This is a journey which becomes ever more dramatic the further the train travels from Glasgow.
It offers a preview of what's to come once you have travelled through Stirling, because between there and Perth, the railway passes through a rolling landscape.
Then after Perth the remainder of the journey will be on the Highland main line, which lives up to its name, because the highest elevation on the British rail network is attained on this line.
For the final two hours epic views of the rugged highland landscape can be appreciated from both sides of the train!
