Glenfinnan is home to the Bonnie Prince Charlie monument and the history associated with Scotland’s Prince..and of course Glenfinnan Viaduct is the most famous part of the “Harry Potter” railway.

The ferry to the Isle of Skye travels daily, this is also a trip worth taking to enjoy the dramatic scenery and plentiful wildlife that the island has to offer, maybe some shopping in the island capital of Portree.
