There you can find a cute little shop called Haggard Alley for all things Harry Potter. Not only do you go over the famous viaduct but you'll also pass the island where scenes were filmed and Dumbledore's grave. A very relaxing day trip.

Worth it. Totally worth it. Especially true if you're a Harry Potter fan as I am, but even if not,…read morethe scenery alone is majestic. There's plenty of info out there on how to book, routes, etc, so I won't go into that here. Tips I'll share: 1) book early - don't even think about trying to arrange this the night before. 2) don't do first class - while it's more comfy and usually our type of travel, we booked on one of the cars toward the back. That way you can see and video/snap pics of the front of the train as it goes over the viaduct. Makes you think lightening struck your forehead. 3) sit on the left side - if you're in the car facing to the front of the train, make sure your seat is on the left side. A much better view of the train going over the viaduct. 4) drink a beer or wine - even if it's 9:30 in the morning, which it was for us, have a brewskie...you're on vacation. 5) eat fast in Mallaig - don't spend a lot of time choosing restaurants. Pick a place the night before. When you arrive at Mallaig, run your happy bum to the restaurant you chose, order (and don't even try to get starters first then mains) and eat. You can take pics afterwards. Restaurants there are small, get slammed with each Twain's arrival, plus the local tourists who come by car. Hope this helps!

What a welcome surprise in a quiet little part of the Highlands! We stayed at an Airbnb just down…read morethe street and got stranded for part of the morning as we awaited a tow from AA. Thankfully, the visitor center was open, allowing us a place to relax and enjoy a breakfast. My husband had one of the best americanos from our trip here and we both enjoyed eggs on toast that tasted extremely fresh. You know when your fried eggs are creamy that they're good! We are glad we stumbled upon this part of town and got to enjoy a nice stop along our journey.

It's our third time here in the area, but we've never been to the Visitors Centre. Needed a lunch…read morebreak and the Centre was really just around the corner. There's plenty of parking, mostly under trees providing nice shade on hot summer days. NT members park free, for all others a fee applies, which was fair enough. It's a very nice visitors centre, providing lots of information. A shop, a restaurant, public toilets. Dogs welcome as well. There are some nice picnic tables outside, with breathtaking views over the Glen. We enjoyed our lunch there. What a location! Then there's the Turf House on site as well. Also several trails and paths to enjoy a little walk around the area. A really nice stop, worth spending some time here.

If you are a fan of James Bond this is where he stopped his DB5 in Skyfall. There's some iconic stops at Glencoe and I think once I found the name out I felt like drinking scotch while listening to The Cure and Morrisey. The Visitors Centre has a huge parking lot and a cafe and coffee. There aren't a lot of food options so you may be forced to eat here, it's OK and not stunning. Kids got a hotdog and I liked how all the topping were separate, chips were OK with it. Another good reason to stop here are the public bathrooms. Outside they have a recreation of a traditional house built by locals. I loved this so much and maybe i was in a drinking mood but I could imagine sitting in one of those in a cold and rainy day and enjoying a heavy single malt scotch. There are also some small streams and water the kids liked throwing rocks into.
