ENJOY SCOTLAND’S GREATEST RAIL JOURNEY with Carol Kirkwood

Steam through the Highlands on the famous Jacobite train on this exclusive break with our favourite weather presenter

-

There’s something romantic about travelling by steam train and there’s nowhere more atmospheri­c to do this than in the Scottish Highlands. On this break, you’ll ride The Jacobite with weather presenter Carol Kirkwood, whose grandfathe­r helped build the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which is seen in the magical Harry Potter films.

Your 41-mile steam-hauled journey starts near Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, passes its deepest freshwater loch, Loch Morar, and travels over the 21-arch Glenfinnan Viaduct to arrive on the shores of the Atlantic next to Loch Nevis. It’s a magical experience, so it’s no surprise that Harry Potter was filmed using The Jacobite as the Hogwarts Express.

You’ll pass through Morar, where Carol grew up, and she’ll tell stories of the Loch Morar monster, as well as her twice-weekly train journey to school in Fort William. Your packed itinerary also includes three unique boat rides: one on the Falkirk Wheel, another on the SS Sir Walter Scott, one of the last surviving screw steamers, and finally a cruise in the footsteps of Rob Roy on Loch Lomond.
