4-day Isle of Skye and The Jacobite Steam Train

Yes, this tour finishes at St Andrew Square, with multiple excellent transport links directly to the airport. You can take the tram from St Andrew Square straight to the airport, or the airport bus leaves from about 5 minutes walk away. There is also a taxi rank about a 3 minute walk away. Please be aware that our return time is an estimate only and we do not recommend booking onward transport the same evening of your arrival back to Edinburgh, in case of delays due to traffic/weather, etc.

I can confirm that the end/drop-off location for your tour will be in St Andrews Square in Edinburgh.

This tour includes a 1-way journey on the Jacobite Steam Train, also knows as the 'Hogwarts Express'. Warner Brothers leased the carriages and the specific locomotive—a GWR 4900 Class Olton Hall—from West Coast Railways. The actual steam engine is now on display at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, but the same vintage carriages are still used on the Jacobite today. The Jacobite's 84-mile round trip runs between Fort William and Mallaig. This route crosses the iconic Glenfinnan Viaduct, famously featured when Harry and Ron fly over the train in the magical Ford Anglia in The Chamber of Secrets.

This tour is not scheduled to stop at the Fairy Pools. However, Day 3 explores many spectacular sites on the Isle of Skye. This may include locations such as the Cuillin Mountains, the Black Houses, Kilt Rock Waterfall, the Old Man of Storr, and the breathtaking Trotternish Peninsula, as well as a visit to the island's charming capital, the coastal town of Portree.

The start time is 8:30am- so please arrive by 8:15am for check in. The meet up point is: 1 Parliament Square, Edinburgh, EH1 1RE
