The train stops en route to Mallaig at the village of Glenfinnan where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard in 1745.After crossing the world famous 21 arch Glenfinnan viaduct, the train stops at the station giving you time to stretch your legs and visit the Museum in the station buildings. The journey has wonderful scenery, along loch sides and across the famous viaduct at Glenfinnan as shown on this video: http://news.stv.tv/entertainment/75224-the-most-scenic-rail-line-in-the-world/ of the scenic journey, a great example to see in advance what to expect! The route also takes in Ben Nevis, the UK's highest mountain, Arisaig, Britain's most westerly mainland railway station, Loch Morar with its stunning beach and views of the isles of Eigg, Muck and Rum. All in all well worth the journey!
