Day 3. Fort William - Glenfinnan

Fort William is a hub for adventurers and hikers. Today you can either explore the area and go for a hike or venture west towards Mallaig. You will almost drive parallel to the Jacobite Steam Train. Stop at Glenfinnan where you will find an interesting visitor centre, the Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Glenfinnan Monument. We recommend to schedule your visit according to the times when the Jacobite Steam Train is crossing the viaduct. Continue to Mallaig. It’s not a big village but is surrounded by lovely white sandy beaches. Return to Fort William.

You will have the chance to experience the Loch Ness from a different angle and even see the famous Urquhart Castle. If you are lucky enough, Nessie might even make an appearance.
