One of the highlights of your tour takes place today, with a journey along the West Highland Line aboard the Jacobite Steam Train*. The route, between Fort William and Mallaig, has one of the most iconic sights of the journey - the Glenfinnan Viaduct. The 21 spans of the Glenfinnan Viaduct blend wonderfully with the surrounding hills and valleys, making it seem like it was always meant to be part of the backdrop. After some free time in Mallaig, make the return trip back to Fort William.
