West Highland Railway & Knoydart Private Charter Experience
Voted Number One in the World by readers of Wanderlust magazine, the West Highland Railway Line is the ultimate in scenic rail travel. Combine breath-taking Highland vistas with the thrill of riding the Harry Potter–inspired Jacobite Express, and you have a journey you’ll never forget. But the adventure doesn’t stop there — step aboard a private charter vessel and explore the wild waters of the Knoydart Peninsula, before returning via a private road tour through the Highlands. This is the full spectrum of rugged-yet-luxurious West Highland travel.
