Head for the hills, royal style

Embark on a grand Highland fling with Royal Scotsman, a Belmond train. This divinely decadent train, made up of ten mahogany-clad sleeper cars will transport you on two, three, and four-night journeys through the Scottish Highlands. Carefully curated excursions will see you sipping the finest whiskies, visiting castles and grand country estates, hiking over hills and trying your hand at clay-pigeon shooting and fishing. We’ve teamed up with the beautiful Belmond folk to bring you two complimentary nights (woo hoo!) at Edinburgh's The Balmoral hotel and a treatment in the train's on-board spa if you travel this August or early September - https://www.askwilliam.co.uk/belmond-trains

Phillip Baldwin reviews a new biography by David Vaiani

I first met Jeremy Catto at an Oxford University open day in 2002, when we chatted intensely about Tudor History and current affairs. I read Modern History at Oriel College from 2003-2006, the year of Jeremy’s retirement.
