Glenfinnan Viaduct
The <anchor>Glenfinnan Viaduct</anchor> is the longest railway bridge in Scotland. It’s not only special because it appeared in the Harry Potter films either. The viaduct has twenty one arches which carry a single track railway line one hundred feet above the River Finnan and through the Finnan valley for more than one thousand two hundred feet. Without one ounce of metal reinforcement? Now that’s magic.

# Glenfinnan

Towns & Villages

Scattered along the main road, Glenfinnan is situated at the head of Loch Shiel which stretches south west for 20 miles to Acharacle.

Scattered along the main road, Glenfinnan is situated at the head of Loch Shiel which stretches south west for 20 miles to Acharacle.

Glenfinnan attracts many thousands of visitors from around the world to experience the stunning scenery but also the special atmosphere.

The famous Glenfinnan viaduct carries the railway to Glenfinnan Station across a 1,000 ft span, 100 ft above the ground. The Jacobite Steam Train* runs from here to Fort William and Mallaig in summer months with regular trains available the rest of the year.

The filming of the second and third Harry Potter books, Harry Potter and the Chambers of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, took place in this area with the Hogwarts Express calling at Glenfinnan. Please be aware that trespassing on the railway line is extremely dangerous and visitors should stay clear of the tracks a​​​​​​t all times.

\* Please note that the Jacobite is only running the morning service at this time. There is no Harry Potter coach and reduced First-Class capacity.

Travel

Ditch the car and journey by bus or train to this iconic location. Buses from Fort William run daily and pass by stunning Scottish landscapes, so sit back, relax and enjoy the views. The train ride to Glenfinnan is one of the most scenic rail journeys in Scotland, with ScotRail making regular stops at Glenfinnan’s historic railway station.

Before you head off, please:

- Read and follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
- Follow signage and guidance around attractions and sites.
- Do not park at the sides of roads, on double yellow lines, or in passing places. Park in designated car parks and parking spaces only.
- Plan ahead and book tickets in advance, where possible.
