Description
Discover Scotland’s magical Highlands, explore historic towns, and ride the famous Jacobite Steam Train - Hogwarts Express from the Harry Potter films - crossing the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct.
Set off from Glasgow in the morning and journey into the heart of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, where rolling hills and shimmering lochs set the tone for the day ahead. Continue through the wild, untamed beauty of Rannoch Moor before stopping at the legendary Glen Coe, a place packed with dramatic peaks and unforgettable views.
From here, travel onwards to the bustling fishing village of Mallaig. You’ll have time to wander the harbour, explore the town, and grab an early dinner — seafood lovers, this is your moment.
Then comes the star of the show: the Jacobite Steam Train. Board in Mallaig and sit back as you glide along Scotland’s rugged west coast. Keep your eyes peeled for the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, instantly recognisable from the Harry Potter films.
Disembark in Fort William, where your guide will be waiting to continue the journey. From here, relax on a scenic coach ride back to Glasgow, rounding off an unforgettable Highland adventure.
