Scottish Highlands by Train

During our trip to Scotland we took the train from Glasgow to Fort William, and then up to Mallaig. The scenery is stunning.

Below is a video I put together showing views from the train through the highlands. A highlight of this journey is that no special train or arrangements are needed. Take the standard ScotRail train from Glasgow to Mallaig and the views are included for free.
