Since I know you're a huge Harry Potter fan (even more so than us!), it should absolutely be at the top of the list along with the cafe in Edinburgh! :)
If you want to get a good photo of the train with a long trail of steam, don’t go on a hot day because the steam will disperse quickly, humid days are best.
@@MeansToTravel there’s an absolutely brilliant photography You Tube channel called ‘Photography Online’ (it’s more like a program or magazine than a You Tube channel). They covered it in one of their videos - it was probably one of the ‘Shoot The Impossible’ projects they do from time to time. It’s the best channel for photography on You Tube by a mile. They are based in Skye so the first two seasons are full of locations from the Isle of Skye so a great watch to get ideas if you’re planning to visit.
Wow had to switch the Sound down and Listen from the across the street. I can only imagine being stuck on a Train with these Two ! A Nightmarish scenario. Bloody hell.
You might want to double-check that your speakers aren’t previously damaged from a past use/misuse. I’m wondering if your issue is that you’ve watched other videos that are really soft (with low dB’s) on maximum volume and damaged your speakers? The volume level for this video is the exact same as most other videos and ads on UA-cam, but the sound itself is slightly edited to remove the Scottish wind noises, which makes our voices sound a tiny bit little “scratchier.”
Thank you for giving it's proper name. Fed up with it being called Hogwarts express. As you say, the place has its own history of which Scots are rightly proud.
Harriet and I never got to go to Glenfinnan Scotland. It's on our bucket list for places to visit on our next trip to the UK. A Great Job guys! Sending you lots of love😍😍😍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.
You're going to love it! We stayed at the Glenfinnan House Hotel on our first trip, and loved its old-timey atmosphere. This time, we stayed at an AirBNB in Fort William and did a day trip to Glenfinnan, which I'll have in a vlog soon!
Hi and thanks, Means To Travel for sharing. Wow, a steam train exists and runs on this historical arched bridge! So is there any train schedule to figure out the time the train passes that bridge? or by luck?---0;48. OMG, it's such a stunning architecture of Glenfinnan. Can I climb up to the top?---1:39. This view is breathtaking. Can I see it all year round like this?---2;33. Thank you so much for giving us some traveling tips. Well done.🙋♀🙋♀🙋♀🙋♀🛶🛶
So glad you enjoyed the video!!! The most recent steam train time table is here, and it's saying online that the train passes over the viaduct roughly about a half hour after departure: westcoastrailways.co.uk/jacobite/timetables I don't believe you can climb to the top of the monument, but the views nearby are must-sees. The view at 2:33 is stock drone footage of the area after a snow, so I highly recommend researching the latest drone rules for the area before flying anything there just in case you need a permit. Have fun and hope you get to enjoy Glenfinnan! 😀😀
Hi, nice tips! I want to ask some questions: 1. Is the Glenfinnan Viaduct easy to reach when travelling with kids (10, 7, and 3 years old)? 2. How far to get the best place to see the view? 3. When the best time to get there, morning or afternoon? Thanks!
I'm not sure how hiking-fit your kiddos are, but the hike to the viewpoint is about ten minutes uphill on an unpaved trail. Maybe call it fifteen minutes with small children? As long as you get there at least 1.5 hours before one of the trains go by, you should be able to find a good spot to see it. So, I'd look up the train schedule of the day you're visiting and work backwards from there! Have fun!!! We love it there! 😀
Hey Michael! We unfortunately don’t own a drone, so no I don’t have any tips to share! I assume there are permits and/or rules for it. (The drone footage in this video is from my creative subscription service.) Are you planning a visit there soon? 😀
@@MeansToTravel Yes, and we are also fans of viaduct bridges! And big fans of Scotland! But it’s crazy how many things we still want to do in the UK, and how we have to still always make a list “for next year“ because there’s only so much we can fit into a summer. We have the blessing of being here for three or four months instead of a week or two, but there’s always a huge list of things we don’t get to each year!🙄 This year we made a trip to Northumberland and County Durham. That’s as far north as we are getting this year. We did some Scotland travel last year, but not very far north. There’s still so much I want to do! And I need to get to the Isle of Mull and see some otters!❤️🦦🏴
@@MagentaOtterTravels I'm the same way! There's so much to do in the UK that I feel like I always still have a long list to go, despite the amount of time I've spent there!

Will be a top of my list when I see Scotland

I'm listening on my air pods and the sound is fine?
Very salient tips, Eliz! Meeting good people is always a highlight in any journey.
It sure is! So fun to meet people from all over the world, especially if you’ve all read the same book!
Glenfinnan: Harry Potter’s Viaduct, Historic Monument, and Scenery Loch Shiel...
HUNDREDS of people waiting to take photos of the train? WOW!!! I had no idea.
Yep, when we visited during the August bank holiday in 2018, it was SOOOO CROWDED but still so fun!
Thanks for the tips, so much to look forward to when we visit next year.
Our pleasure! Hope you're having a great time planning!
Hola bella pareja es muy hermoso lo que han explicado y visto👏👏 voy para allá ✈️

Yeah we really lucked out with a perfectly sunny day!
Thank you for giving it's proper name. Fed up with it being called Hogwarts express. As you say, the place has its own history of which Scots are rightly proud.
Of course! I’m so happy to share the correct name, and share the history! Glenfinnan is such a wonderful place!!!

Appreciated for the very informative video. Can you advise the train direction (FW Malliag) where it runs towards you (not away) from this viewpoint?
To see it coming towards you from this viewpoint, it’s going from FW to Malliag. 😀
rode that train a few times even before harry potter
It’s such a cool train!
Awesome! Can’t wait to check this out when we move to Edinburgh!
You’ll love it!

any advice on flying drones here?

Great video! I haven't been there yet, and it's always so helpful to get practical tips!!
I think you'd really like the scenery, and I can only imagine the drone photography Ian could capture! Are you guys Harry Potter fans?? 😀

Don’t forget to check out the Lake District in the North West of England
Approximately how long does it take the train to get to the viaduct from the 10:15 departure? We are coming in early October.
I believe it crosses the viaduct around 30-40 minutes after departure, but I'd get there earlier just in case!
how to get the ticket of this train
You can click on the link in the video description! 😀
Please do not come. This has ruined our local area.
Sorry you haven't been liking all of the tourists! I'm sure living in Glenfinnan is incredible.
Good to know
Thanks and thanks for watching! 😀
