A stunning suspension bridge spans the width of the Monessie Gorge, connecting the south side of the River Spean with the small settlement of Achluachrach. The bridge bounces, creaks and flexes as you cross, making it slightly more thrilling than many would like. A sign states that no more than two people should be on the bridge at a time.

In my view, the remarkable West Highland extension is undeniably stunning, particularly during the passage over Glenfinnan Viaduct, where the train pauses briefly, allowing passengers to admire the picturesque vistas, along with the approach to Mallaig. Equally as breathtaking as this extension is the original West Highland Line connecting Fort William and Glasgow, especially as the train navigates through Monessie Gorge, Rannoch Moor, and the Horseshoe Curve, all offering spectacular sights in a remote setting. It's worth noting that capturing views from inside the train may be hindered by rows of trees along the track, but this did not significantly detract from my enjoyment of the scenery beyond the foliage.
