You may know it as the Hogwarts Express and you’ll cross the viaduct featured in the Harry Potter films and pass the Glenfinnan Monument where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard at the beginning of the 1745 Jacobite rising.
Have Seafood for Lunch at Mallaig…
Lunch is at the west coast town of Mallaig, where you can taste the best of Scottish seafood.
Home via Glen Coe…
Turning south, you’ll visit Glen Coe, where the MacDonalds were betrayed, then experience the beauty of Rannoch Moor and Stirlingshire as you head for home.
