About

Discover the Glenfinnan Visitor Centre, the gateway to one of Scotland’s most famous and picturesque locations, cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Set against the stunning backdrop of Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan Viaduct. Learn about the Jacobite Rising of 1745 and the moment Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard at Glenfinnan through interactive exhibits and engaging displays. Step outside to see the Glenfinnan Monument, a striking tribute to the Highlanders who fought for the Jacobite cause. Walk to the best viewpoint of the world-famous Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous by the Harry Potter films, and watch as the Jacobite Steam Train (aka the Hogwarts Express) crosses this breathtaking railway bridge. After exploring, stop by the café for a selection of hot drinks and snacks, or browse the shop for unique Scottish gifts and souvenirs.
