Scotland Tour: West Coast Railway

The next day in Scotland was a drizzly day...not uncommon, I'm told. We road the West Coast Railway on a train that goes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the 2nd Harry Potter Movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This is the scenic route that the Hogwarts Express takes to get to Hogwarts.  Just after the bridge, the train stopped in Glenfinnan, where the children got to try riding a broom stick.  Avery actually had a bit of success and got airborn. 

It was a beautiful ride to Maillag, where we found some lunch and then hopped on the train again to ride back. Maillag felt like a small fishing village with a bunch of restaurants to feed all the tourists that come on the train.

 Some views from the train....

 

One of the cars on the train, was arranged with "Harry Potter Style" cabins.  We wished that we could have ridden the whole way in one of those, but at least we got to sit in one for a few minutes.
