(Glasgow, Scotland) 0107 – Locker. Code: 17483. Woke up at 8a. This hotel/hostel has been great. Very interesting. Check-Out. Back to town. Train station. Left Luggage for 5 pounds. Today we are riding a steam train through the Highlands to the Coast. This is the train they used to film Harry Potter. Nice. Supposed to be the best steam train ride in Europe. Two English people are setting across from us today. They seem very nice. A few kids have boarded the train. “I don’t want to ride backwards daddy.” Beautiful views. Absolutely lovely. Onward to Maliag. A small sea port. 11a. This is great. the Black Loch is to the right. Ocean is to the left. People with us are great. A quick stop at a station. And we’re off for the final leg. Famous white sands of Morar. At the port. Off the train. Perfect town. Fish. Boats. Sea. Gray. Now for lunch. The Tea Room. A small cafe. A girl is playing the fiddle in the distance.
