The Jacobite

Today's the day ......................... to get steamed up

Not only can this part of north west Scotland boast spectacular scenery - mountains, lochs, rivers, sandy beaches and the rest, there's something else that makes it totally irresistible (to me at any rate)! Every day, The Jacobite steam locomotive pulling several carriages, makes the journey from Fort William to Mallaig and back again. The line follows the coastline pretty closely and so it's possible to find a good spot to watch it steam past.

There really is nothing more exciting than seeing the plume of steam in the distance and hearing that chuff chuff chuff sound. If only you don't panic and mess it up, you'll have a chance to capture this wonderful sight ......................
