Jacobite Steam Train
Jacobite Steam Train Review
The most relaxing way to take in the landscape of birch- and bracken-covered wild slopes is by rail. The best ride is on the Jacobite Steam Train, a famously scenic 84-mi round-trip that runs between Fort William and Mallaig from mid-May through mid-October; cost is £32. You'll see mountains, lochs, beaches, and islands along the way.
