Overview

On this day tour departing Edinburgh at 6am, you can see the Scottish Highlands, Glencoe, film locations and take a journey on the Jacobite Steam Train over the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct.

We travel together to Fort William & passengers who have selected the Jacobite Steam Train option board the train for one of the world's greatest railway journeys to Mallaig, crossing the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct. Guests on the coach-only option remain on the coach and travel the same route by road.

In the fishing village of Mallaig, you'll have free time to explore and enjoy lunch before everyone rejoins the coach. We then stop at the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre for the chance to photograph the steam train crossing the viaduct (subject to parking availability and therefore not guaranteed) before returning to Edinburgh via Pitlochry.

*This tour may operate in reverse.
*Booking options: With Jacobite Steam Train or Coach Only (no train journey)
