From the guide

Join us for a private tour as we embark on a truly magical Harry Potter themed pilgrimage through the heart of Scotland and into the Highlands.

From a suitable vantage point, view the Hogwarts Express as it crosses the world-famous Glenfinnan Viaduct. Reflect at the poignant Commando Memorial. Marvel at the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Highlands at Glencoe. Enjoy hand-feeding the Highland 'Coos', and snap a quick photo in front of Doune Castle, the setting of Outlander, Game of Thrones, and the classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Make ever-lasting fond memories that capture the true essence of Scotland.

NOTE
The Jacobite train is not operational between 25th October and the 27th March, in these months we will still visit the Viaduct, but we won't see the train go past.
