Tour Scotland travel video of the Harry Potter steam train crossing Glenfinnan Viaduct which overlooks Loch Shiel, on the West Highland railway line on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to the Scottish Highlands. Glenfinnan Viaduct has been used as a location in several films and television series, including Ring of Bright Water, Charlotte Gray, Monarch of the Glen, Stone of Destiny, and three films of the Harry Potter film series. The Glenfinnan viaduct in Scotland was completed in 1898; the piers and arches were built in concrete. It carries the West Highland railway line on its final stretch between Fort William, some 20 miles to the East, and the fishing port of Mallaig, this line is widely regarded as providing one of the great scenic railway journeys of the world. Until relatively recently, the trains crossing the Glenfinnan viaduct heading south carried fish from Mallaig. When the line opened, fish landed at Mallaig could be on sale in London, England, the next day. The Jacobite express provided the steam engine and carriages for the Hogwarts Express as seen in the Harry Potter' films including The Philosopher's Stone and others in this wonderful series of films.
