*** NEW: Get the App for Android Devices***
The Viaduct Trail offers a great way to get up close to Glenfinnan Viaduct, with outstanding views of the surrounding mountainous terrain and Loch Shiel. A trail guide is available from the museum reception, showing a map of the route and some of the flaura and fauna you may spot on the way. The Jacobite Steam Train passes over the Glenfinnan Viaduct at approximately 10.45am and 3.10pm. At certain times in the season there are 2 steam trains a day – please check the West Coast Railway’s website for further details at www.westcoastrailways.co.uk and please note the steam train does not run at weekends throughout the entire season. Trespassing on any part of the railway track is strictly prohibited.
