Rail Journey to the Isles

We took the West Highland line from Glasgow to Mallaig via Fort William and this is without doubt the most beautiful railway journey in Britain and in the top 10 in the world.
The scenery was spectacular with the highlights being the section accross Rannoch Moor where we saw a herd of Deer and then the section from Fort William to Mallaig. This was so spectacular that at times it took your breath away with everything to see including Mountains, Lochs,Sea Lochs, Caledonian Canal, and plenty of wild life including a magnificant Stag.
On arrival at Mallaig we had a lovely meal in a Sea Food Restuarant and then headed back the following morning with glorious sunshine along the route to Fort William.

Any chance we'll get to see it? There is just to much to see and so little time.

I am planning to take your mum & dad on it but i dont think you and Fraser will get time to go on it as it is quite far from Arran.
