Harry Potter (Jacobite) train tour

9-12-2017 A scenic day tour from Glasgow that featured panoramic locations from Harry Potter movies, Highlander, Local Hero and James Bond epic Skyfall. After a fast train to Glasgow, we set out on a Highland road trip to Glencoe and the ‘Road to the Isles’, from Fort William to Mallaig, one of Scotland’s most scenic routes. Then we jumped on the Jacobite Steam Train for a two-hour trip on one of the world’s greatest railway train journeys. Including the Glenfinnan Viaduct, a Scottish icon that’s famous for its classic Victorian engineering and as the ‘Harry Potter bridge’ that takes the boy wizard to Hogwarts.
