West Coast of Scotland. Glen Finnan Viaduct.

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

This is the viaduct used in the Harry Potter films.

There is car parking and it is £2.00 per car but when the Jacobite steam train is due the carpark is really busy.

There is a shop, café and also toilets.

To get to the viaduct, you don't follow the obvious route.

Leave the carpark, turn right and walk up the road until the next carpark area on the right.

Ignore the path before the carpark.

Walk through the carpark and the path will lead to the viaduct.

It really is a lovely stop if you are in the area.

There's a nice one near Gatehouse of Fleet in Wigtownshire, Galloway. 

As seen in 39 steps - Hitchcock's version from 1935

I like the look of that.

Just watched some youtube videos and it certainly looks impressive.

Not as yet Craig but I have read about it.

I do have insurance though in case anything went wrong and I have this through the British Model Flying Association.

I used to belong to that association when it was Society of Model Aeronautical Engineers (SMAE) Five shillings a year for insurance cover when I flew control line models as a teenager.

Its long since disused, but a great view from the middle - makes part of a good walk up the clints of Dromore.

Dont forget Dumfries and Galloway when you visit Scotland!!

I almost bought a house in Creetown a few years ago but the sudden arrival of a granddaughter changed that plan! An acre of land up an unnamed road for a very modest sum. Two feet thick granite walls and a maid's room above the scullery. Ho hum...
