About this journey
Ride one of the world's great scenic railways from Glasgow to Mallaig on the West Highland Line. The train skirts Loch Lomond, crosses the vast emptiness of Rannoch Moor, and curves over the Glenfinnan Viaduct — the arc made famous by the Hogwarts Express — before reaching the silver sands and island views of the Atlantic coast.
As on every route, stories are triggered by GPS as you reach each place, play in either direction of travel, and work fully offline once you've downloaded the journey. The app even tells you which side of the train to look.
