The highlight of our fabulous Scottish west coast tour is a spectacular journey on the famous Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig, considered to be one of the greatest railway journeys in the world. We also feature an exhilarating ride on Britain’s only mountain gondola and a cruise on Loch Linnhe to Seal Island.
