Fort William City Centre Travel Guide

Fort William

A trip on a proper steam train from Ft William to Mallaig passing over the iconic Glenfinnan viaduct famous from the Harry Potter films. It was a great day out and well recommended.

An old ship washed ashore on Loch Linnhe at Fort William on the Higland coast of Scotland.
'The Jacobite' steam engine, pulling the Fort William to Mallaig train along the line made famous in the 'Harry Potter' film series. Extremely popular of course so you will need to book your trip very early!

Took this trip in late November, when days are rainy, gloomy, and short, but the experience was one of a kind. Strolling through the forest I was amazed at how green everything was, all covered in moss and ferns, almost like a fairy tale. I would definitely visit it again any time of the year.
