The viaduct

Glenfinnan viaduct on the banks of Loch Shiel in Scotland. The viaduct was built by Sir Robert McAlpine who was also known as concrete Bob. The viaduct itself was made famous by the Harry Potter films. The steam train on the viaduct is the Jacobite Express which was used in the Harry Potter films as the Hogwarts Express. This train runs twice a day and when it does it attracts huge crowds in the hills and valley around the viaduct. Glenfinnan is also the valley that Bonnie Prince Charlie first raised his standard in Scotland and you can see the monument to this event from the Jacobite express.
