Built in 1901, the Glenfinnan Viaduct is probably most famous for its use in the Harry Potter Movie series. It is an impressive piece of engineering, made up of 21 large arches. Trains cross it regularly, connecting Fort William to Mallaig. For those keen to spot an iconic steam train crossing it a quick internet search will normally provide the most recent timetable.

Glenfinnan is home to the monument of the same name at Loch Shiel and the Aqueduct, on which the Jacobite travels four times daily between Fort William and Mallaig. He also stops in Glenfinnan.
