Most RU-vid videos I could find focus on the viaduct or Harry Potter, so in today's video I walk right past it (literally) to see what else Glenfinnan has to offer. Enjoy the video...

I don’t pretend to be a travel expert, but I love what I do and would be honoured if you came along with me. My channel focusses on the wide-eyed wonder and excitement of finding somewhere new, and my genuine reaction to it. You may not get a history lesson in my videos, but who knows, you might pick up some useful travel tips along the way, add a few destinations to your bucket list and hopefully be entertained by what you see. Thanks for watching, it means a lot to me :)
I do ALL of this myself. Planning, filming, editing, promoting, all with a weekly upload schedule, so please understand not every video will be an epic adventure. But my pledge is to always do my best in any situation and KEEP THE CAMERA ROLLING :)

FAQs:
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
I was born in Glasgow but have lived in Carnoustie, Dalgety Bay, Stonehaven, Edinburgh, Montrose, and further afield (Salamanca, Spain & Devonport, New Zealand)
WHEN DO YOU UPLOAD?
Saturdays at 10am Scottish time. Occasionally a bonus midweek video will pop up (in which case, likely to be Tuesday at 5pm)
WHY IS THERE A DELAY BETWEEN TRIP AND VIDEO APPEARING?
This is both my business model and a result of doing everything myself. Editing takes time and I also like to schedule videos a bit in advance in case of any problems/illness/cancellations etc. Keeping my uploads appearing every Saturday is important to me, so I don’t want anything to get in the way of it. Also, I occasionally need some time off to recover from trips! But more than anything else, it's about budgets. I generally need to film a number of videos on each trip to break even. And each one of these take a while to fall into place on a Saturday morning.
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
I film with a GoPro11 and my iPhone12. I edit on iMovie and use epidemicsound.com for music. I also use canva.com for thumbnails etc. I also have a DJI Pocket 3 (bigger sensor) for nighttime, although I’m still getting to grips with it.
WHY DON'T YOU SPEND LONGER AT DESTINATIONS?
The usual suspects I'm afraid - time and money! Hotels especially these days make my eyes water like a true Scotsman. Also my weekly upload schedule means I need to keep on the move.
WHERE'S ALICJA?
Alicja will feature whenever possible, but she has her own life and a proper job so it can take a while for our schedules to match up. Trust me though, I prefer it when She is there too!
DO YOU PAY FOR YOUR OWN TRAVEL?
Yes I do. I've only ever accepted a complementary ticket as compensation for a previous problem. All my opinions are frank and honest reflections of travel as I experience it.
WHY THE ADS?
It's my income, I can't do this for free. Notice I don’t have mid-roll ads though!
CAN I CONTACT YOU?
I used to list my email address but felt bad not having the capacity to respond to everything so took it down (and I got a LOT of spam so missed many genuine messages along the way).
HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE CHANNEL?
Watching my videos is of course support enough, but if you'd like to support further, I'll pop links in here for Paypal and Patreon. All kind donations are super-appreciated and will go 100% towards future filming trips.
DO YOU ACCEPT SPONSORSHIPS?
I don't like to upset the flow of my videos, so I don't even include mid-roll ads anymore (at significant loss of income to myself), so I prefer not to include sponsorships either. I'm open to a small slide at the start/end of each video, but I don't want to get into talking about products, it's something I don't like as a viewer myself (especially as a viewer who pays for RU-vid Premium). So it's probably a polite no, although all of this goes out the window if you offer me something which can give me the chance to make a video for my audience that would otherwise be impossible.

I agree with you 100% about the lack of 'something special' with the West Highland trains. The Settle-Carlisle railway also has visitors from around the world, and the trains have volunteers selling souvenirs on board. We have bog-standard trolley food, but nothing to make it stand out as memorable. It is one of the great railway journeys of the world, and Scotrail could be adding so much value to the trip. And hey, good job you ate *after* squeezing through that hatch.
@hoofie2002
@hoofie2002 Месяц назад
While tourism is big on the line it's also still a working railway getting people to and from Glasgow. The Sprinters though really are not right; I was on them in the mid 90s in that route and they really need to replaced with something newer. No chance of Scotrail doing that though.

Hats off to you, Steve, for your thoughtfulness in removing your hat when entering the church. We seem to have forgotten so many signs of respect in our daily lives. Your videos are not only extremely informative, but they also go far beyond what commercial travel programs offer. Your reactions to new surroundings are a joy to behold. Best wishes and safe travels.

Hi, Steve. First went on this journey in 1974. Believe it or not we were asked to sign a petition to keep this line as BR, as it was then, wanted to close it down. Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe ar part of my favouritist, great new word, places in whole world. In 2012 my son-in-law and I walked across the moor on the West Highland Way, then 2013 we completed the Scottish coast to coast by walking the Great Glen Way. I have been to the highlands more times than I can remember and they never fail to raise my heart. Thanks for the memories Steve ❤❤

We stayed in a cottage in Glenfinnan 6 years ago with our husky Shaer and Malamute Talon. They are sadly both gone now. When we stayed there was a maot around the monument. The walks off the path to the monument is a lovely evening walk. The dogs and I did it a couple of evenings. The road under the viaduct is the start of a lovely walk though forests and steep trails. I had been to Glenfinnan many times as a child but never crossed the viaduct by train. We took a day trip to the lovely sands and Mallaig. My partner went back in the car and the dogs and I caught the train you got back to Fort William, it was a fantastic journey with stunning views.

Fabulous day out Steve! I felt I was right there along with you. Have to say, I loved that proud Scot look on your face as you stood at the bottom of the wee church looking over Loch Shiel. The absolute magical beauty of it all. A look of recognition of why our ancestors fought and died to keep it that way. As a fellow Scot myself, I felt and understood that completely. Just so surreal. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️. I also loved the beautiful stained glass windows in the church and the polished granite pillars (I think they were granite, and think I saw a couple of marble ones too). Such a beautiful place of worship. Loved your reverence within the church, removing your cap to show respect. A true gentleman. Can’t wait till your next video Steve. 😊

21:14 I remember back on a gorgeous Saturday in March 2005, after my girlfriend started getting trench feet out hillwalking around Knoydart and we bailed our hike and hitchhiked out of Kinloch Hourn to Fort William to spend a week in Achintee instead. When her feet were better, rather than continuing our hike, we just made some day trips around Fort William, and one of those days we ended up at Glenfinnan. There was literally nobody. I don't like how the world is changing. Greetings from Gdańsk.

Steve, Thanks for taking the viewers along to Glenfinnan - including inside and to the top of the monument. You did all the work getting there etc. and we, the viewers get all the benefit. Another very interesting adventure.

I'm usually on the Oban train, but love the Ft William line too. That section at the horseshoe and Kinglass viaduct are spectacular, especially at the foot of Ben Dorain. Always worth it too seeing Corrour. Anyhoo, both sections of the West Highland line are stunning......and as in this video, there's so much more than HP and that concrete viaduct. The church is also awesome, all too often folk just stop to take the "grammer" pic, but it's nice inside too... as you've seen. Interesting history.

I would highly recommend a night's stay at The Glenfinnan House Hotel! wonderful place with 18th century paintings, open fires, and a fabulous old fashioned bar and restaurant.

My wife and I have been up the monument a few years ago and the guide who escorted us up did say that for many years that the viaduct was actually called McAlpines viaduct who constructed it before Harry Potter made it infamous. Great video.

Right near the visitors’ centre (very interesting displays about BPC and the highland clans) there is a small knoll. A steep tricky climb that I wouldn’t want to attempt on a wet day like Steve had. But it gives a clear view of the viaduct, and you turn 180 degrees and you have an amazing view of Loch Shiel and the monument. We stayed further down the road in the wee village of Morar. We were the first of several groups that piled into the hotel lobby at the same time. As the receptionist was checking-in my family he suddenly looks at the clock and says, “That reminds me. The Harry Potter train should be arriving at the station across the road in 10 minutes.” When I turned to grab my luggage all the other groups had disappeared, their luggage standing like tombstones. They had all taken off across the street. After moving our luggage up to our rooms we joined them.

Awesome vid. And love how you highlighting the great things tosee in Glenfinnan apart from Viaduct. The Jacobite Train (Harry Potter) does bring great revenue to area and Scotland, but glennfinnan is so much more than just the choo choo. The area has such a rich history and so much to explore and tell

Highly recommend taking Alicja to the Corrour Signalbox for a night or two. Its so quiet up there and some lovely places to walk in the area. The venison stew in the station house restaurant is amazing. Love that view down the loch at Glenfinnan.
