- Day Two- JACOBITE STEAM TRAIN
After an early breakfast we head up to Fort William to join the West Coast Railways Jacobite Steam Train.
The train stops en route to Mallaig at the village of Glenfinnan. Beyond Glenfinnan are the beauful villages of Lochailort, Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. You may alight at Arisaig. From here, on a clear summer’s day, you can see the “Small Isles” of Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna and the southern of Skye. The train continues on from here passing Morar and the silvery beaches used in the films “Highlander” and “Local Hero”.
MALLAIG IS OUR DESTINATION
The travelling is as much a part of the experience as the arrival. We hope you enjoy this spectacular railway journey, regarded as one of the greatest in the world.
FORT WILLIAM
Fort William, the largest town in the Highlands and situated at the southern end of the Great Glen, lies in the shadow of Ben Nevis, Britains highest mountain. This area is a fine location to use as a base to discover the West Highlands.
GLENFINNAN
We cross the 21-arched Glenfinnan viaduct (a location made famous in the Harry Poer films) which overlooks Loch Shiel and the Jacobite monument. The train may pause on the viaduct, to allow you to take in the magnificent view. Once stopped in Glenfinnan station there will be time to stretch your legs and, if you wish, visit the West Highland Railway Museum located in the restored station building.The Jacobite may also stop at Arisaig by request of the guard.
ARISAIG
The village of Arisaig (the Safe Place) is centred on the sheltered shore of Loch nan Ceall (Loch of the Cells). From this very tranquil village it is possible to take the boat, The Sheerwater to the Small Isles (unl mid Views from Hotel over Loch Long September). The local Highland Games takes place here annually on the last Wednesday in July at Traigh Farm.
MALLAIG
The end of the line, Mallaig was founded during the 1840s when the owner of the North Morar Estate, Lord Lovat, divided up the farm on the coast here into a series of parcels of land and encouraged his tenants living around Loch Morar and Loch Nevis to resele in what became Mallaig and establish a fishing village. Today Mallaig is a busy fishing port and ferry terminal with services to Skye and the Small Isles. Arriving in Mallaig we have over an hour and a half to enjoy a walk round and take in the atmosphere: there are shops, bars, restaurants and plenty of fish and chips to be enjoyed during the lunchme stopover. After the breath-taking experiences we return to the hotel for dinner and this evenings live entertainment.
- Day Three – LOCH LOMOND & HOME
After breakfast we head round to Loch Lomond where we board the cruise boat for a one hour tour of Loch Lomond before heading back home.
Travel along the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, enjoying the enchanting views before arriving at the Loch Long Hotel for dinner, after which, relax and enjoy the evenings live entertainment.
