Our second visit to the highlands of Scotland that promises another unforgettable adventure amidst Scotland’s stunning mountains and lochs. Nestled on the scenic west coast, Oban serves as the perfect gateway for exploring the breathtaking beauty of the region with its picturesque harbour and stunning coastal views.
A highlight of the trip will be the Jacobite Steam Train journey, one of the most scenic rail routes in the world. This iconic trip takes you from Fort William to Mallaig, crossing the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct — a sight familiar to many as the “Harry Potter” bridge — offering unparalleled views of lochs, mountains, and picturesque villages. With each turn, the landscape reveals the wild, unspoiled beauty of the Highlands. This visit offers a perfect mix of history, natural wonder, and the charm of a classic steam train journey through one of the most dramatic landscapes in the world.
