... Wonderful postcard nr2 is showing the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct with the old Jacobite Steam Train... a fabulous 2 hour ride on a steam train through some of the most magnificent countryside Scotland has to offer... it takes you past a list of impressive locations, attractions and natural features.... with stunning view towards the Glenfinnan Monument and Loch Shiel in the distance... described as one of the greatest railway journeys in the world... the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland... and earned international fame when it featured in the Harry Potter movies as the Hogwarts Express train... Thanks so much dear Andrene! \_(♥‿♥)_/ Hope you enjoyed your stay with family!❤️
