At Fort William we stayed at the Linnhe Lochside Holidays site, and as the name says we were right beside the loch. It was picturesque at all times of the day, but for me it was best at sunset when you could admire the view with a glass of wine and watch the sun slowly disappear behind the hills.

Fort William to Mallaig on the Hogwarts Express. Thanks to Jane’s forward planning we had pre-booked our tickets for this famous steam train. What a truly lovely scenic journey through the Scottish countryside, and this time we didn’t need to drive so we were all able to admire the views!

The only down side was that we all had to wear face masks. Mind you, I do think they really suit Kev!

It was a real trip down memory lane for Jane, Val and Kev as they all remembered steam trains from the time when they where actually used day to day!!!!
