Join us for a day of magical adventures, epic tales and stunning landscapes, all in the name of the legendary wee wizard that is Harry Potter. Scotland is a must-visit destination for Harry Potter fans thanks to our impressive list of connections to the world-famous Harry Potter books and movies; from J.K. Rowling’s favourite writing spots and the charming city sights which inspired her, to the awesome filming locations and scenic backdrops in the Highlands. The highlight of the trip is, of course, our journey on the Jacobite Steam Train: better known to Harry and his mates as the Hogwarts’ Express.

Our story begins in enchanting Edinburgh. As we depart the city for the day, your guide will reveal Edinburgh’s claims to Harry Potter fame. Soon, our journey north will showcase views of the iconic Forth Bridge: a stunning landmark which was completed in 1890 and became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015. We pass the Kingdom of Fife and Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland, before entering the wildly gorgeous Scottish Highlands. Brace yourself for the beauty of the West Coast and catch a glimpse of the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct as we pass – you’ll be travelling across its stunning arches next! It’s time to board the Hogwart’s Express. The Jacobite Steam Train departs from the fishing village of Mallaig and takes you on a journey across one of the world’s most beautiful railway lines. It’ll blow your wee socks off! Back on the bus, there is more dramatic scenery to come, in the shape of atmospheric Glencoe - backdrop for several scenes in Harry Potter and the home of Hagrid’s Hut – which gives way to the remote and rugged Rannoch Moor. Immerse your imagination in tales of Scotland’s past, all the way back to Edinburgh, arriving in the late evening.
