• Commando Monument - En route to Fort William, a visit to the Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge in the Scottish Highlands is a must. This impressive bronze statue honors the elite British Commandos who trained in the area during World War II. Unveiled in 1952, the memorial stands against the stunning backdrop of the Nevis Range, offering breathtaking views that enhance its solemn and powerful presence. The statue features three commandos in full battle gear, gazing over the rugged landscape, symbolizing their bravery, sacrifice, and lasting legacy.
• Glenfinnan Viaduct - The Glenfinnan Viaduct, one of Scotland’s most iconic railway bridges, elegantly stretches 1,000 feet across the dramatic Highland landscape near Loch Shiel. Completed in 1901, this remarkable 21-arch structure carries the West Highland Line, famously used by the Jacobite Steam Train, also known as the Hogwarts Express from the Harry Potter films. Beyond its cinematic fame, the viaduct holds historical significance, overlooking the site where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard in 1745, marking the start of the Jacobite Rising. Surrounded by breathtaking mountains and lochs, the Glenfinnan Viaduct offers one of Scotland’s most scenic and magical views, attracting visitors eager to witness the nostalgic sight of a steam train crossing its grand arches.
• Glenfinnan Monument - Just a short distance from the Viaduct is the Glenfinnan Monument, standing proudly at the head of Loch Shiel. This poignant tribute to the Jacobite Rising of 1745 was erected in 1815. The 18-meter-high stone tower commemorates the moment when Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard, rallying the Highland clans in his quest to reclaim the British throne. Atop the monument stands a lone Highland warrior, symbolizing the loyalty and sacrifice of the Jacobite supporters. Surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, the site offers a breathtaking view over Loch Shiel, a landscape rich in history and legend.
• Ben Nevis - On the way to Glencoe, Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, rises majestically to 1,345 meters (4,413 feet) above the Scottish Highlands near Fort William. Its rugged beauty and unpredictable weather add to its allure. Ben Nevis is more than just a peak—it is a geological and historical marvel. Once an active volcano, its ancient origins date back nearly 400 million years, and evidence of its volcanic past can still be seen in the summit’s unique rock formations.
• Glencoe Visitor Centre - At the start of Glencoe, a stop for lunch at The Glencoe Visitor Centre, operated by the National Trust for Scotland, is ideal. It serves as the perfect gateway to one of Scotland’s most dramatic and historically significant landscapes. Nestled at the entrance to Glencoe, the centre provides fascinating insights into the glen’s turbulent history, including the infamous Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, where members of the MacDonald clan were betrayed and killed. Inside, visitors can explore interactive exhibits, watch informative films, and learn about the area’s volcanic origins, wildlife, and mountaineering heritage.
• The Three Sisters - The Three Sisters of Glencoe are a trio of striking mountain ridges that form part of the Bidean nam Bian range, creating one of Scotland’s most breathtaking landscapes. Towering over the Glencoe Valley, these rugged peaks—Beinn Fhada, Gearr Aonach, and Aonach Dubh—are a paradise for hikers, climbers, and photographers alike. The area is steeped in history and legend, with the glen being the site of the infamous Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, where members of the MacDonald clan were betrayed and killed.
• Hagrid’s Hut - On the return to Fort William, a stop at the location of Hagrid’s Hut in Glencoe is a treat. This famous filming location from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban brought Rubeus Hagrid’s iconic hut to life against the dramatic backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. Nestled in the breathtaking valley of Clachaig Gully, this spot was carefully chosen for its rugged beauty and mystical atmosphere. Though the set was dismantled after filming, the filming ground remains, where guests can imagine Hagrid’s cozy home where he cared for magical creatures like Buckbeak the Hippogriff.
• Ben Nevis Distillery - This stop can be skipped upon request, as some may not prefer whisky. The Ben Nevis Distillery, one of Scotland’s oldest whisky distilleries, is located at the foot of Ben Nevis. Established in 1825 by the legendary John McDonald, known as “Long John,” the distillery has a rich heritage of producing fine Highland single malt whisky. Visitors can enjoy a delightful tasting at the distillery’s visitor centre, which features a tasting room where one can sample a selection of Ben Nevis whiskies, known for their deep, robust flavors with hints of smoke and spice. With its historic charm, scenic location, and exceptional whisky, the Ben Nevis Distillery is a must-visit destination for whisky lovers and those exploring the Scottish Highlands.
• Old Inverlochy Castle - Inverlochy Castle, a striking 13th-century ruin near Fort William, is one of Scotland’s most historically significant medieval fortresses. Built around 1270 by the Comyn family, once powerful rivals of Robert the Bruce, the castle played a key role in Scotland’s turbulent past. Its strategic location at the foot of Ben Nevis, near the River Lochy, made it a vital stronghold, witnessing two major battles, including the decisive Battle of Inverlochy in 1645, where the Royalist forces of the Marquess of Montrose defeated the Covenanters. Today, the well-preserved ruins, including its imposing stone walls and corner towers, offer visitors a glimpse into Scotland’s medieval past.
