Meeting Point
Full Description
Set off on a full-day adventure from Edinburgh to the breathtaking Scottish Highlands. Explore Glenfinnan, Glencoe, and Fort William, and discover landscapes featured in major films—including the world-famous Harry Potter series. Depending on the season, you’ll also have the chance to watch the iconic Jacobite Steam Train as it crosses the Glenfinnan Viaduct.
Leave behind Edinburgh’s lively city center and enjoy views of landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle as you head north. Travel through scenic countryside toward the Highlands, stopping in the charming town of Callander—the perfect spot for a quick refreshment before the mountains rise ahead.
Continue into the dramatic scenery of Glencoe, a location seen in Skyfall and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Here, take time for photos and learn about the area’s turbulent past, including the tragic 1692 massacre of the MacDonald clan.
Your journey then follows the shores of Loch Linnhe to Fort William, a picturesque Highland town resting at the base of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest peak. This is an ideal place to stretch your legs and enjoy an early lunch break.
Next, make your way to the world-famous Glenfinnan Viaduct—the cinematic route of the Hogwarts Express. Explore the surrounding viewpoints, see the loch that inspired scenes from the Triwizard Tournament, and soak in the magical atmosphere that makes this location unforgettable.
While in Glenfinnan, visit the Glenfinnan Monument, a striking landmark commemorating the start of the 1745 Jacobite uprising—one of the defining moments in Scottish history.
To end your day, sit back and relax as you travel back to Edinburgh through the Cairngorms National Park. Enjoy sweeping mountain views before one final stop for refreshments in the quaint village of Pitlochry.
