Arisaig 2026 19: The Homeward Journey as Far as Glenfinnan Viaduct

Continuing my account of my Scottish holiday with first of a number of posts about the return journey to Norfolk.

Welcome to the latest instalment in my series about my Scottish Holiday (May 30th to June 6th). This post starts the story of my journey back to Norfolk.

PREPARATIONS

I started my packing on the Friday night, and rose early on the Saturday morning to complete the job. The journey started with the 10:27 from Arisaig, and I had about 45 minutes to kill at the station, as my parents needed to start their own journey a little bit earlier. The weather was reasonable, so I did not need to make use of the waiting room. I was not quite the only one boarding this train at Arisaig, but finding a seat was not a problem. I was due to be on this train all the way to Glasgow where it terminated, which meant that for a few hours at least I was able to relax and enjoy the scenery.

PHOTOGRAPHS

Here the photographs I got up to the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which to remind you is east of Glenfinnan station…
