Fort William is a hub for adventurers and hikers. Today you can either explore the area and go  for a hike or venture west towards Mallaig. You will almost drive parallel to the Jacobite Steam  Train. Stop at Glenfinnan where you will find an interesting visitor centre, the Glenfinnan Viaduct  and the Glenfinnan Monument. We recommend to schedule your visit according to the times when the Jacobite Steam Train is crossing the viaduct. Continue to Mallaig. It’s not a big village  but is surrounded by lovely white sandy beaches. Return to Fort William.
