Description

This Podcast takes us from the Isle of Skye to the mainland where we land at Mallaig, a small fishing port. The port is home to the Mallaig train station and became famous for the filming of the Harry Potter train, the Hogwarts Express, and you can travel on the very same steam train that travels between Mallaig and Fort William. I will be dropping my guests at the train station and making my way along the parallel road to meet them at their destination. They will cross the famous Glenfinnan viaduct, the very same place that Bonnie Prince Charlie landed in 1745. He escaped from a spot not far from their after his disastrous defeat at Culloden. So much to see and do on the way!
