Tour Scotland Video Jacobite Steam Train

Tour Scotland video of the Jacobite Steam Train in Highland Scotland. Described as one of the great railway journeys of the world this 84 mile round trip takes you past a list of impressive extremes. Starting at Fort William, near the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis, it visits Britain's most westerly mainland railway station, Arisaig; passes close by the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, finally arriving next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis. The train stops en route to Mallaig at the village of Glenfinnan. Beyond Glenfinnan are the beautiful villages of Lochailort, Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. You may alight at Arisaig by request to the guard. From here, on a clear summer's day, you can see the Small Isles of Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna and the southern tip of Skye. The train continues on from here passing Morar and the silvery beaches used in the films Highlander and Local Hero. The Jacobite, provided the steam engine and carriages for the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express
