Saint Mary & Saint Finnan Catholic Church ⛪️
Address - A830, Glenfinnan PH37 4LT, United Kingdom
Highlights - Ancient church. Shores of Loch Shiel
Rating - 5/5
What a magnificent and historic church that is being well-preserved/ taken care. Unfortunately, I didn't went into the church due to time constraint but the outer architecture is very pretty as seen in the picture.
If you walk around the trail, this is one of the spot that you will pass by where it locates 10 minutes away from Glenfinnan station.
It is one of the place where you will get direct line of sight to Loch Shiel and from there, another 3 minutes walk, you will reach the narrow loch in between Loch Shiel and River Finnan.
Hope you will get a chance to visit it one day!

Glenfinnan Dining Car
Address - Station, Station Road, Glenfinnan PH37 4LT, United Kingdom
Highlights - Cafe inside the coach. Light refreshments and drinks
Rating - 5/5
The lovely coach has been converted into a cafe that is located beside Glenfinnan station. I thought the concept of taking a previously used coach and furnishing it so that it looks like you are inside a coach for transportation was a nice idea.
It's basically a way for everyone to experience a dining in a coach kind of environment. Additionally, you can see Glenfinnan Viaduct and Loch Shiel through the beautiful windows.
If you have the time to experience it, you should get to try it!

Glenfinnan Train Station
Address - Glenfinnan PH37 4LT, United Kingdom
Highlights - Train station. Scenic spot. Museum beside free to explore.
Rating - 5/5
The train station is commonly people start or end of trail to the Glenfinnan Viaduct View Point.
As the train only pass by here twice a day, hence it is a good opportunity to take scenic pictures! Also, beside it, there will be a Glenfinnan Station Museum, where you can learn about the historical moments of the station and the entrance fee is free!
If you want to experience some wizardry from Glenfinnan railway station, you can take the Jacobite steam train that will be crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which also happens to be the popular Hogwarts Express.

Glenfinnan Monument/ Viewpoint
Address - 2 Erracht, A830, Banavie, Fort William PH37 4LT, United Kingdom
Highlights - Historical landmark. Observation deck.
Rating - 5/5
I would really say that the place don't lie from what you have seen previously in the pictures before heading there! It is really a very beautiful place and they have kept it nature well.
It is one of the place to visit when you are in Fort William, Scotland. It is totally a scenic spot location so do take more pictures!
Apart from looking at the view that makes you relax, afterwards you can walk towards the Glenfinnan Viaduct which is 10 - 15 minutes away. Also, it is a good place for hiking where you can take 45 minutes - 2 hours to complete includes taking pictures! So do wear a proper hiking shoes and the temperature is usually around 10°C (you are near Mountain area) so do wear thicker clothes!
Would commonly recommend to go there via tour so that you can get to understand more about the history and cultures of the place.

One of the most beautiful spots to visit on a bright day is Loch Morlich close to the ski resort town of Aviemore. Here you can stroll around the lake and it’s surround forest whilst getting one of the best views of the often snow clad peaks in Scotland
