Overview
Leaving Glasgow in the morning, we embark on a scenic drive through Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. We'll traverse through the remote wilderness of Rannoch Moor, before making a stop at Glen Coe to soak up stunning views of its dramatic peaks.
Then, get excited for the famous Jacobite Steam Train! Departing from Fort William, the train winds its way along Scotland's rugged west coast, crossing the legendary Glenfinnan Viaduct, known from the Harry Potter films. Disembark the train in Mallaig, with time to explore the town and find a local lunch spot. Mallaig is well-known fishing port, so don't miss the chance to try some fresh seafood! After lunch, we continue along the scenic Appin coast, passing by the beautiful Kilchurn Castle, nestled
on the shores of Loch Awe. Next, we make our way to the historic town of Inverary for a brief exploration and a chance to admire the peaceful waters of Loch Fyne.
