Hogwarts Express and the Scenic Highlands Day Tour from Inverness

We depart Inverness and begin our journey along the world-famous Loch Ness, stopping for photos above the ruins of Urquhart Castle.

We continue west, and visit the Commando Memorial which overlooks the Nevis Range; home to the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis.

Now is your chance to board the Jacobite Steam Train in Fort William, one of the most spectacular railway journeys in the world. The train crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct where a monument to Bonnie Prince Charlie’s campaign now stands. The train ride is approximately 2.5 hrs and will take you to Mallaig where your guide will meet you.

Enjoy your lunch stop in the fishing village of Mallaig. We would suggest sampling some of the local seafood!

The beautiful scenery continues into the evening with a stop in Fort Augustus to see the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness up close.

Enjoy some unspoiled views on the less travelled road on the south side of Loch Ness.

Before we head back to Inverness, we visit Dores Beach on the banks of Loch Ness.
