Overview

This full-day tour from Edinburgh covers key locations in the Scottish Highlands, including Glencoe and several Harry Potter film sites. The journey begins with a coach ride to Fort William, where passengers board the Jacobite Steam Train for a single trip to Mallaig. The train crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct, a well-known railway landmark featured in the Harry Potter films. After arriving in the fishing village of Mallaig, there is about 80 minutes of free time for lunch and exploration. The return trip includes a stop at the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre to photograph the steam train as it crosses the viaduct on its way back. The tour also pauses briefly in Pitlochry before returning to Edinburgh. A knowledgeable tour manager accompanies the entire trip, which lasts around 13 and a half hours. The itinerary may run in reverse order on some days.
