Take a round trip from Fort William to Mallaig by old fashioned steam train. Look out of the windows to admire the views seen by Harry, Ron, Hermione and friends as they headed off to Hogwarts. If you look carefully you will see where Harry flew over the Loch on Buckbeak and you may even spot the island where Professor Dumbledore rests in peace.
Almost as good as riding on the train is finding a good spot to watch it puffing by. Morar Station is nearby or head across to Glenfinnan viaduct for an iconic view.
