Why Glenfinnan Viaduct matters
The curving stone viaduct at Glenfinnan, with Loch Shiel behind it, is one of the most photographed railway structures in Britain. When the Jacobite steam train crosses in summer, crowds gather on the hillside viewpoint. A short walk from the visitor centre takes you up to the best vantage point.
