Most KZfaq videos I could find focus on the viaduct or Harry Potter, so in today's video I walk right past it (literally) to see what else Glenfinnan has to offer. Enjoy the video...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is both my business model and a result of doing everything myself. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips! But more than anything else, it's about budgets. I generally need to film a number of videos on each trip to break even. And each one of these take a while to fall into place on a Saturday morning.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for KZfaq Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

I agree with you 100% about the lack of 'something special' with the West Highland trains. The Settle-Carlisle railway also has visitors from around the world, and the trains have volunteers selling souvenirs on board. We have bog-standard trolley food, but nothing to make it stand out as memorable. It is one of the great railway journeys of the world, and Scotrail could be adding so much value to the trip. And hey, good job you ate *after* squeezing through that hatch.

While tourism is big on the line it's also still a working railway getting people to and from Glasgow. The Sprinters though really are not right; I was on them in the mid 90s in that route and they really need to replaced with something newer. No chance of Scotrail doing that though.

A good day out Steve. Out tour last year we enjoyed the West Highland Line to Fort William by train where we spent a couple of days, then we took the train from Fort William to Mallaig, then by coach up to Inverness. With a couple of days in Inverness we enjoy a train journey on the Kyle Line, while I had waited some ten years to travel on the West Highland Line I was equally impressed with the scenery on the Kyle Line. Looking forward to your next adventure, cheers Paul.

Don't remember having to book or pay an entrance fee at that time, though as we are members of the NTS, maybe it used to be included. Really Scottish weather, eh?

Stunning views all around. What a day! I’ve been to the viaduct (all to briefly). Had to settle for a climb up the hill adjoining the car park SW on the viaduct. Wish I had had the time for that NE view. The trail from the Station to the viaduct was great! Loved all the boardwalk sections. I’m mightily impressed you tackled the Monument. Surprised at the relatively inexpensive price, but I don’t think I could have handled those stairs or that hatch at the top…so, thanks for bringing us along. It makes me laugh when you and Scott “run into each other “. Best of all was that amazing train ride. Cheers, and ATB!

Hi, Steve. First went on this journey in 1974. Believe it or not we were asked to sign a petition to keep this line as BR, as it was then, wanted to close it down. Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe ar part of my favouritist, great new word, places in whole world. In 2012 my son-in-law and I walked across the moor on the West Highland Way, then 2013 we completed the Scottish coast to coast by walking the Great Glen Way. I have been to the highlands more times than I can remember and they never fail to raise my heart. Thanks for the memories Steve ❤❤

We stayed in a cottage in Glenfinnan 6 years ago with our husky Shaer and Malamute Talon. They are sadly both gone now. When we stayed there was a maot around the monument. The walks off the path to the monument is a lovely evening walk. The dogs and I did it a couple of evenings. The road under the viaduct is the start of a lovely walk though forests and steep trails. I had been to Glenfinnan many times as a child but never crossed the viaduct by train. We took a day trip to the lovely sands and Mallaig. My partner went back in the car and the dogs and I caught the train you got back to Fort William, it was a fantastic journey with stunning views.

Also, the climb to the top of the monument was a really tight squeeze but was so worth it. Providing even more beautiful views from the top. The wee railway carriage Cafe was very cute & cozy with yummy looking food. I also really loved the charming wee Church overlooking another amazing view. The Church was truly delightful both inside & out. The truth is, the entire area around Glenfinnan is very beautiful, along with the captivating train journey.

Fabulous day out Steve! I felt I was right there along with you. Have to say, I loved that proud Scot look on your face as you stood at the bottom of the wee church looking over Loch Shiel. The absolute magical beauty of it all. A look of recognition of why our ancestors fought and died to keep it that way. As a fellow Scot myself, I felt and understood that completely. Just so surreal. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️. I also loved the beautiful stained glass windows in the church and the polished granite pillars (I think they were granite, and think I saw a couple of marble ones too). Such a beautiful place of worship. Loved your reverence within the church, removing your cap to show respect. A true gentleman. Can’t wait till your next video Steve. 😊

​​​@@plugsocket9432I mean if you've been together with someone for a number of years saying boyfriend/girlfriend does sound a bit non committal. Also, 'partner' assumes a much more equitable arrangement which is also not gender defining.

That is what they do on many lines in Switzerland! But then the Swiss are world champions when it comes to organising public transport. (Two recent videos posted on the Johnny Hoover Travels you tube channel illustrate my point brilliantly.) And the Swiss would be amazed that the Glenfinnan viaduct is a railway tourist attraction which most people reach by car! (If it were In Switzerland the West Highland Extension would be electrified and have an hourly service.)

Just finished your latest video excellent as always but that scenery is literally breathtaking. It’s now made its way to the top of my must do trips. And I need to say a massive note of respect to you for removing the Folsom on entering that gorgeous church.

Went to morar/Arisaig every summer for 2 weeks with the family growing up from 1983 -2000. Absolutely has the best beaches in the uk when the sunshine out 😅. When it's wet, that's another story, but I remember it before all the crowds found out about it. (Thanks Harry)

Hi Steve, thanks to your video, I went to Glenfinnan from Crianlarich (I live in Dunblane) today [24/04/2024] in glorious sunshine. The Glenfinnan Dining Car food was excellent and we followed the same walk as you. A truly memorable trip and certainly one of the railway journey's in the world. Cheers!

I find the whole Harry Potter phenomenon quite tedious. What is more interesting is the fact that the viaduct is one of the first built from concrete. Bill

Fabulous video , have driven up and down that road many a time but you taking us on foot and by train was spectacular and I’ve seen the views in an entirely different perspective. Love the genuine friendship that has developed between you and Scott, brought a smile to my face seeing you meet up. Thanks again Steve , loved it.

What a fantastic journey Steve! Scotland at its best. The final destination Glenfinnan is just amazing. I was there in July -23, staying at The Armoury (filmed after the church) for five days, an accommodation I highly recommend. 😄👍
