Traveling by Train to Scotland. Tourists traveling from the United States must fly into Glasgow International Airport, but travelers already in mainland Europe can get to Scotland exclusively via train. Direct connections to Scotland can be booked after arriving in England. King's Cross Station in London offers service to Edinburgh, and trains also depart from London's Euston Station for Glasgow. The latter route features First Scotrail's Caledonian Sleeper Train, an overnight train with comfy sleeping compartments and shower facilities. Shorter train connections to Scotland also are available from other English cities, including Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Newcastle.
