West Highlands, Glen Coe and the Jacobite Steam Train tour

Depart from Glasgow in the morning and embark on a scenic drive through Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Traverse the remote wilderness of Rannoch Moor, stopping at Glen Coe to absorb the stunning views of its dramatic peaks.

Next, prepare for a ride on the renowned Jacobite Steam Train! Departing from Fort William, the train winds its way along Scotland’s rugged west coast, crossing the legendary Glenfinnan Viaduct, known from the Harry Potter films. Disembark the train in Mallaig, with time to explore the town and find a local lunch spot. Mallaig is a well-known fishing port, so don’t miss the chance to try some fresh seafood! After lunch, you'll continue along the scenic Appin coast, passing by the beautiful Kilchurn Castle, nestled on the shores of Loch Awe. Then, head towards the historic town of Inveraray for a brief exploration and a chance to admire the tranquil waters of Loch Fyne.

On your return journey to Glasgow, take in the stunning views of the Arrochar Alps as you pass by the well-known Rest and Be Thankful viewpoint, arriving back in the city in the evening.
