Introduction

Take the Jacobite steam train along the West Highland Line in Scotland, travelling between Fort William and Mallaig with a stop at Glenfinnan Station. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is a must-see landmark on this route, as it was used as a filming location for the Hogwarts Express and the flying blue Ford Anglia car scenes in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." At the Glenfinnan Monument, you can enjoy the stunning landscape of the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which is over 100 feet high and consists of 21 arches. The monument is located on the Road to the Isles (A830), which offers picturesque views.
