The Road to the Isles
Glencoe, Fort William & Glenfinnan
The usual road journey heads north past Loch Lomond, across Rannoch Moor and through Glencoe before reaching Fort William.
From Fort William, the A830 takes you west along the Road to the Isles, passing Glenfinnan and continuing towards Arisaig and the port of Mallaig.
This is a memorable Highland route, but the direct transfer does not automatically include stops. Ask about extra time at Glenfinnan, Loch Shiel or a suitable viewpoint.

Railway Fans
Glenfinnan Viaduct & the Jacobite
The famous Glenfinnan Viaduct is on the railway between Fort William and Mallaig. The seasonal Jacobite steam train travels along this line and attracts visitors from around the world.
Road access to a viewpoint requires an additional stop and suitable parking. Seeing a steam train crossing is not guaranteed, and train tickets are separate.

Don’t leave check-in to chance
The journey is long enough that an early departure and sensible time buffer matter. Check CalMac’s ferry departure and check-in times for your specific sailing.
