1 Day Jacobite Steam Train & Scottish Highlands

Enjoy a day of stunning scenery and fresh Highland air, as we travel all the way around Loch Ness and along the idyllic West Coast. Watch the Jacobite Steam Train cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct before you hop aboard and experience it for yourself.

Depart Edinburgh by bus and journey north, passing the magnificent Forth Bridge, the Kingdom of Fife, and Perth. Admire the Glenfinnan Viaduct on a stunning drive up the West Coast. Next, you’ll travel across its iconic arches from Mallaig on the Jacobite Steam Train, also known as the Hogwarts Express. After experiencing one of the world’s most beautiful railway lines, head to Glen Coe. See the dramatic landscapes used as the backdrop for some much-loved scenes in the Harry Potter films. Continue through the vast wilderness of Rannoch Moor, listening to tales from Scotland’s past. Jump back on the bus to return to Edinburgh, arriving back at the city in the late evening.

*Our tours are conducted in English, by our Guides, however foreign language translations are available in German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French and Mandarin.
