Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & A Highland Town

If your departure point is from Glasgow we shall stop at Luss on route to Glencoe. We will head over the Kingston and Erskine bridges crossing the River Clyde each time before soon entering into The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. We will get to stop at the conservation village of Luss on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Here we have time to walk around the village and get some great views of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond.

If departing from Edinburgh we will visit The Kelpies on route to Glencoe. The Kelpies are impressive 30-metre-high equine sculptures crafted from stainless steel, celebrating Scotland’s industrial heritage and mythological past.

After here we drive up through the highland villages of Crianlarich and Tyndrum then the road brings us high up into Rannoch Moor. We then stop at the majestic Glencoe and hear about the haunting past of The Massacre of Glencoe back in 1692. Depending on the time of year and weather we will stop at Fort William or the Glencoe visitor centre for a bite to eat.

The road takes us out west to Glenfinnan where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised the Jacobite Standard on the 19th of August 1745. Here we stop to take it all in the history of the area and then the viaduct. Here you will see the Harry Potter Bridge and maybe see the Jacobite Steam Train ( Hogwarts Express ) crossing over. The train runs from the 7th of April to the 24th of October.

Superb views of Loch Shiel from the viewpoint this loch served as the Black Lake at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films, notably appearing in The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, and The Half-Blood Prince, where the loch's stunning mountain scenery was featured as the home of sea creatures.

We then travel east back the same road towards Fort William entering into the Cairngorm National Park before reaching either the highland town of Pitlochry or Taste Perthshire here you have some time to get something quick to eat/drink or even some whisky ice cream before heading back towards Glasgow arriving around 7.30 pm approx.

We shall pass by Stirling Castle on the return to Glasgow if time allows we will get to take some photos.

If returning to Edinburgh we will pass over The Forth road bridges.
