Day 6 & 7
Day six we drove to Ft. William to catch the famous Jacobite train that is featured in the Harry Potter movies. It starts in Ft. William and takes a beautiful 2 hour journey (round trip is 4 hours and the kids did great!) stopping in a small sea town called Mallaig.
Kaelan was in Heaven!
To tell the absolute truth...we drove to Ft. William on Day 6 and weren't able to get tickets. So we bought tickets for day 7, our last day, but seeing the train depart from the station in Ft. William was one of the highlights of K's trip...mine too for that matter! It was really incredible when the train began to leave and all the people, including ourselves, disappeared in a cloud of steam! K and I watch youtube videos of steam trains all the time but it was so cool seeing it (and not being able to see through the steam) in real life!
On the Train
K and Coco got a cool steam train from the gift shop on the train to play with for the train ride.
Girls out numbered the boys on this trip!
Coco liked her train too but it kind of became K's an hour into the ride!
See what I mean. He NEEDED both of them if he was really going to do this right
The scenery
The Glenfinnian Viaduct was featured in the Harry Potter movies too.
Mammy had a first class car named after her!
We made it to Mallaig
On the drive home from Ft. William we decided to take a slight detour to see the famous Glen Coe. Parts of Braveheart were supposedly filmed here. It was just a drive but one of my favorite days in Scotland. It was exactly what I had always imagined Scotland would look like, so beautiful!
