Glenfinnan Station

A halt on the West Highland Railway line, Glenfinnan Station lies on the hillside above the settlement of Glenfinnan and Loch Shiel, 14 miles (22.5 km) west northwest of Fort William. The station services four diesel passenger services per day in each direction, together with a tourist steam-drawn service in the summer months.

Most of the B-listed station buildings are now occupied by the Glenfinnan Station Museum, established in 1991. Also here are two 1950s-era railway cars, one used as a restaurant and the other for accommodation. A walking trail which begins here and leads a half-mile (1 km) east to the Glenfinnan Viaduct has become known as the Harry Potter Trail.
