Scottish Highlands & Jacobite Steam Train Day Tour from Edinburgh

Overview

Learn all about Edinburgh’s connections to Harry Potter, as we depart the city and journey north towards the Highlands, past the magnificent Forth Bridge, the Kingdom of Fife and Perth.

The stunning drive up the West Coast is lovely to see. Soon, you will be travelling across the iconic Glenfinnan arches on the Jacobite Steam Train from Mallaig!

After your experience on one of the world’s most beautiful railway lines, your guide will be waiting for you at Fort William train station to escort you back to the coach. We’ll then take you straight to Scotland’s most dramatic landscape, Glen Coe, which was used as the backdrop for some much-loved scenes in Harry Potter.

We continue through the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor, entertaining you with tales from Scotland’s past. Our Jacobite Steam Train tour comes to an end as we arrive back into Edinburgh in the late evening.
