A copy of the article we did for the luxury lifestyle Lusso Magazine on a journey through the West of Scotland onboard the Royal Scotsman . What an incredibly memorable experience... Gliding past lochs with the steady rhythm of the rails below or enjoying cocktails on the veranda, this is true Scottish splendour.

The lovely weather we had today reminded me of an unforgettable trip. The commission:  to document a 3 day journey on board the Royal Scotsman.  Dare I say you haven't experienced the true beauty of the Scottish Highlands if you haven't done it with Orient Express.  We were absolutely mesmerized by the majestic scenery, exquisite food and attention to personal luxury service.  Not to mention the glamour of enjoying a candlelight dinner in a kilt (now there's a bit of a tricky situation!)  The bridge in the picture above is the one featured in Harry Potter...

We had the pleasure of discovering the delights of Kassiesbaai on a recent trip to Arniston in South Africa.  Kassiesbaai is a working fishing village where we found wonderfully warm smiles and generous people.  Lillian, one of the local residents, treated us to an evening of beautifully cooked freshly caught fish with a candle lit dinner in one of the original houses (like the one pictured above).  The village dates back approximately 200 years and has been declared a national monument.  It is located on the coast of the Indian Ocean in the town of Arniston, named after the Britsh troopship that was wrecked off the Agulhas reef in 1815, with the tragic loss of 372 lives.  Arniston is approximately 190km from Cape Town.
