On this magnificent train journey there is plenty to see, with mighty mountains, shimmering lochs and miles of majestic coastline. We start our journey in Scotland's largest city, Glasgow and a visit to the Museum of Transport where all the major Scottish railway companies are represented. From Glasgow our journey takes us north into the Highlands and we go through a number of small stations before we reach Crianlarich where the line divides, one going to Oban and the other to Fort William and Mallaig. We continue our journey through the glens and across desolate Rannoch Moor to Rannoch Station. From here the line climbs to its summit at 1350ft before it starts its descent to Spean Bridge and finally Fort William. At Fort William we have a stop and visit the town, the diesel and electric loco depot and Inverlochy Castle. Leaving Fort William we head to Mallaig via Corpach on the Caledonian Canal and Glenfinnan with its monument to Bonnie Prince Charlie and spectacular arched railway viaduct. The line now runs down past peat moors to the Atlantic and the terminus at Mallaig. From here we return to Fort William to explore the line to Oban, the gateway to the islands.
