The Jacobite Steam Train, often hailed as one of the world’s greatest railway journeys, offers a magical and unforgettable experience through the Scottish Highlands. Departing from Fort William, this historic steam train takes passengers on an 84-mile round trip to the coastal town of Mallaig, passing through some of Scotland’s most breathtaking landscapes.

One of the journey’s highlights is crossing the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, a 21-arched railway bridge made famous by the Harry Potter films as the route of the Hogwarts Express. As the train chugs along, passengers are treated to stunning views of towering mountains, shimmering lochs, and picturesque villages. The route also includes sights such as Ben Nevis, the UK’s highest peak, and the tranquil shores of Loch Eilt.

The Jacobite Steam Train captures the romance and nostalgia of a bygone era, offering a unique way to experience the wild beauty of the Highlands. Whether you’re a train enthusiast, a Harry Potter fan, or simply looking to soak in Scotland’s stunning scenery, a ride on the Jacobite is an experience that evokes both wonder and adventure, making it a must-do on any Highland itinerary.
