The town of Fort William between Ben Nevis and Loch Linnhe plays host to this holiday featuring two of the most
scenic rail journeys. The scenery is spectacular, so for those who enjoy rail journeys this is a wonderful tour.
The first excursion will be aboard the Jacobite Steam Train from Fort William to Mallaig. It starts near the highest
mountain in Britain Ben Nevis then passes close by the deepest freshwater loch in Britain (Loch Morar) and the
shortest river in Britain (River Morar). The train also crosses the world famous 21 arch Glenfinnan viaduct, which has
been used in the Harry Potter movies and offers wonderful views down Loch Shiel. Our second rail excursion will be
on the Kyle Line which is equally impressive as it winds its way from Inverness through to the Kyle of Lochalsh.
We will board the train at Kyle of Lochalsh and travel as far as Lochluichart, which is in our opinion the most scenic
and will last approx 1.5 hours, the views from the window are worth the fare alone but the drive to and from the
railway stations are equally spectacular.
The Alexandra Hotel, part of the very fabric of Fort William, since 1876. Close to the shops and other amenities.
The Alexandra provides traditional Scottish Hospitality at its best, and is in a central location in Fort William. Whether you
are shopping in the High Street, or taking a train you will find the Alexandra is in the perfect position. There are 93
bedrooms within the hotel all benefitting from en-suite bathrooms, television, direct dial telephone and tea and coffee
making facilities. Enjoy great food and true Scottish Hospitality in the Alexandra Hotel. Relax in the light and airy restaurant
and enjoy the finest of local produce, with wines from around the world to compliment your meal. You can relax by the
warmth of the open fire in the refurbished front lounge areas - ideal for you to enjoy on your stay.
