Thank you for your kind words, Julien!
Yes, I was there in September and got some great shots. Very photogenic place, like all of Scotland.
Oh yes definitely on my bucket list! I've not seen the Hogworts train at Disney in florida either but I'd rather see the real Viaduct. Love the outtakes too! haha! Brilliant job to you both.

Thanks always for your lovely and kind comments, Valerie! We hope you’ll be able to see Glenfinnan Viaduct one day soon 😄
Thank you for the videos. They are very helpful and informative. I’ll be taking a trip to Scotland in June. I was thinking about taking the train, but I think I’ll just go on the gondola instead. I’m trying to figure out what I should do when I’m near Inverness. I know Loch Ness is there, but I was looking for something else. Any suggestions?

We’re so glad you enjoy our videos! Near Inverness, you could consider visiting Culloden Battlefield, and along Loch Ness is Urquhart Castle that you may find interesting. Hope this helps!

At 6:00, is there a viewpoint to take the same scene (ie with the lake in the background) without using the drone? Thanks.

We’ve never come across one ourselves although we’re sure there is a viewpoint with the viaduct and the lake! You’d have to get quite high though so we imagine that perhaps from the car park, going right instead of left might get you that kind of view, but we haven’t gone to see for ourselves yet!

I live in Glenfinnan, and frankly Harry Potter has ruined our once quiet village. Can I add to your film a couple of points, The early train is the busiest for visitors. When leaving the carparks when going over the wooden bridge that crosses the River Finnan, please follow the path next to the river and not wander all over the fields, we have massive erosion now thanks to folk wandering everywhere. NO DRNE FLYING. If the carparks are full and they will be by 10am there is no other parking in the village so please keep going and come back for the lunch train or get there earlier, we cant fit everyone into the carparks despite building the new one. We have cars and vans blocking up the single track roads and the main road just for that Instagram picture, many many vehicles this year have had tickets from the Police for dangerous and illegal parking and dozens of vehicles have been uplifted and removed which will mess your well planned holiday up. PLEASE REMEMBER, WE LIVE IN GLENFINNAN, BE RESPECTFUL TO SIGNS AND PARKING AND PLEASE TAKE ALL LITTLE OUT OR BIN IT. THANK YOU.
Why do I find the yanks so depressing?
