Jacobite Steam Train
3 Belford Road, Fort William, Highland PH33 6BT, UK
Fans of Harry Potter will instantly recognize this steam locomotive as the Hogwarts Express. The two-hour scenic ride (each way) runs between the lakeside town of Fort William to the port of Malleig, the jump-off point to the Isle of Skye. The route goes through gorgeous countryside, including a viaduct crossing and picture-perfect vistas of lochs and glens. The train runs twice daily in the summer but has reduced service through the rest of the year.
