Liverpool Lime Street Station
Leaving Liverpool for Edinburgh via train

We began the journey by taking the train from Liverpool Lime Street station to Edinburgh.

Our four days in Scotland barely scratched the surface of its many wonders. We explored Edinburgh’s major sights, savored the vibrant pubs of Glasgow, and embarked on an all-day tour of the breathtaking Highlands. After over 20 weeks of travel, the fatigue was beginning to set in.
