Chugging through the misty lochs and sweeping glens of the Scottish Highlands, the Jacobite Steam Train embarks on an 84-mile (135-kilometer) round-trip journey between Fort William in Scotland’s West Highlands and Mallaig on the west coast. This nostalgic train ride passes by Britain’s tallest mountain, Ben Nevis, and the iconic Glenfinnan viaduct, which gained fame as a filming location for the Harry Potter movies, where it stood in for the fictional Hogwarts Express. Visitors can experience the scenic beauty and historic charm of the Highlands, all while enjoying the rhythmic sounds and sights of a classic steam locomotive.
