Scotland Trip - Glasgow to Fort William via John o' Groats - Part 1/2
We arrived at Glasgow on Saturday morning, the flight was fine (the breakfast not…) and headed into Glasgow city to get our train onwards. We travelled on a rover ticket which was pretty cool in itself, £118 for 8 days of travel within 15 days which I’ll talk about in the next blog post. 
Glasgow Queen Street to Aberdeen: 155 miles (Running total 155 miles)
Aberdeen was our first destination, Brewdog Brewery our goal.

Scotland Trip - Fort William to Edinburgh via Mallaig - Part 2/2
We left on the West Highland line for a short two hour run to Mallaig, this line has apparently been voted one of the most scenic railway journeys in the world.
Fort William to Mallaig: 41 miles (Running total: 683 miles)

We passed the Glenfinnan Viaduct which you might remember featuring in the Harry Potter movies, and were shortly in Mallaig; a small coastal ferry port on the west coast of the Highlands.

Betws-Y-Coed Miniature Railway Trip
At Betws-Y-Coed station, there is a railway museum and miniature railway. The museum entry fee was £1.50, and so were tickets on the miniature railway. Having nearly run out of pennies, we decided to hop on the miniature railway, as you do. We even got cute little tickets which the driver checked…

Only when the train started and a family with young children walked onto the platform did we realise that this probably looked a bit strange: Two 24 year old guys, and a 19 year old girl sat in the tiny carriages.
