Secret Scotland, Sleeping Elephants and the Jacobite (Hogworts Express)!

By strange coincidence I caught an interesting travel program  on Channel 5 called 'Secret Scotland'. the episode shown on friday evening featured Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and the 'Hogworts Express' sorry ' The Jacobite

Lovely shots of the train on the Glenifinan Viaduct, of the foot plate and the 1st class carriage, Peter take note. Nice piece on Nessy of course as well as dolphins on the loch! Did anyone else know that they described the view of Ben Nevis from the farshore of Loch Liney as a sleeping elephant!

You can catch up on the program 'Loch Ness' featuring the diminutive comedian Susan Calman on channel5.com or My5. I am sure it will appear as a repeat somewhere in the schedule over the next week!

  1. I can do Oban Backpackers at £18 each. I have found £88 for 5 at the mo. Anyone interested? Let me know by tomorrow evening. Anyone done St Augustus and Inverness? Rail is a bit weird. Best so far is Derby to Glasgow £34. Split Your Ticket doesn't seem to work. C
