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.

The Journey Begins

  • Depart under the shadow of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain.

  • Travel past Arisaig, Britain’s most westerly mainland railway station.

  • Pass Loch Morar, the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, and River Morar, the shortest river in Britain.

  • Arrive at Mallaig, a port town overlooking the deep waters of Loch Nevis.

Knoydart Peninsula Private Charter

Board our private luxury motor yacht, Fleur D’ Ecosse for a 4-hour exploration of the Knoydart Peninsula:

  • Discover a remote wilderness of rugged cliffs, lochs, and evocative landscapes.

  • Enjoy wildlife and history cruises, with expert guidance from local specialists.

  • Stop at Inverie, home to the remotest pub in mainland Britain, The Old Forge.

  • Savor a fresh seafood lunch onboard, served at anchor amid stunning scenery.

Knoydart, sandwiched between Loch Nevis and Loch Hourn, forms part of the famed “Rough Bounds” — one of Scotland’s forty National Scenic Areas, recognised for exceptional beauty. Take in astonishing views of Skye and the Inner Hebrides, a region where travel over water has long been the best way to explore.

Scenic Return by Road

After your sea adventure, a private chauffeur will guide you along the A830, the Road to the Isles, back to Fort William. Highlights along the route include:

  • The iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct

  • The historic Glenfinnan Monument, a key site of the 17th Century Jacobite conflicts

From the Highlands by rail, sea, and road, this full-day private experience delivers adventure, luxury, and unforgettable scenery.
