You will stop at Fort William, a town steeped in rich history and nestled at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain range in the British Isles. In 1690 the fort was rebuilt in stone and renamed Fort William in honour of William of Orange. This strategic military site played a crucial role during the Jacobite uprisings, particularly during the 1745 uprising led by Bonnie Prince Charlie. The fort withstood sieges and was a key location in the turbulent history of Scotland, including the infamous Glencoe massacre in 1692, where troops from Fort William carried out orders that shocked the nation. The fort was eventually dismantled in the 19th century to make way for the railway which the famous Jacobite train (Hogwarts Express) departs from. An optional stop for a quick lunch.

Phenomenal tour through the Highlands. From the moment Troy picked us up, we knew we were in good hands. My wife is a Harry Potter fan and seeing the Jacobite steam train was definitely one of the highlights of her trip to Scotland. Words cannot adequately describe the Highlands - they are a remarkable world unto themselves. From the Three Sisters, to Glencoe, Troy presented them to us that highlighted their majesty and uniqueness. I highly recommend this tour!
