The stunning, 21-arched Glenfinnan Viaduct takes the West Highland Line across the River Finnan at a height of 100 feet (30 m). Built between 1897 and 1901, it overlooks the Glenfinnan Monument and Loch Shiel. A spectacular site from the glen below, the Jacobite steam train makes regular crossings en route between Mallaig and Fort William. The viaduct became widely known from its starring role in the Hogwarts Express scenes in the Harry Potter films.
