    The Jacobite is said to be the greatest railway journey in the world. Starting near Britain’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, passengers ride for 84 miles (135 kilometers) through some spectacular scenery; along the breathtaking Glenfinnan Viaduct, past the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar, the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, and finishes next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis. Fans of the Harry Potter films will recognise this steam train as the ‘Hogwarts Express’ that takes pupils to the wizard school. The steam train and parts of its train route were shown in all eight of the Harry Potter films.

      The railway line is around 70 kilometers long, and the one-way journey on the Steam Train takes just under two hours. The link opened in 1901 to better serve and service this remote part of Scotland.

        Here in Fort William is the southern end of the Jacobite Steam Train, the famous Harry Potter train. With luck you can see him steaming down here or arriving.
