This morning, the group chipped in to take a ferry across the island rather than going back via the bridge we came over on. We made our way down to the Glenfinnan Viaduct in time to see the Jacobite steam train go across it. This train is famous for being used as the Hogwarts Express in the Harry Potter films. The viaduct itself is situated in a scenic valley and there's also a great view of Loch Shiel and the Glenfinnan Monument on the other side.

We then made our way down to Neptune's Staircase, a staircase lock on the Caledonian Canal . We were fortunate enough to see a ship go through one of the eight locks. We then went into the town of Fort William for lunch. The town is located near Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles. I had cullen skink for lunch, which is a Scottish soup comprised of haddock, potatoes, and onions. It was a bit strange, but not bad nonetheless.

After lunch, we made our way farther down the coast through the village of Glencoe to the Glen Coe valley. We made a stop there and took in some stunning views of the valley.

We then made our way back to Edinburgh. On the way, we passed The Kelpies, large horse head statues in Falkirk, a little ways west of Edinburgh. We didn't stop at the sight, but had a decent view of them from the highway. The tour ended when we arrived back at Edinburgh. Overall, I was quite pleased with the tour. We saw some beautiful sights and the guide provided us with a lot of history of the area, including Queen Mary of the Scots which I'd heard about on the 1-day tour I did just prior to this one.

I took one last stroll through Edinburgh in the evening after checking in to my hotel. I ended trying a deep-fried Mars Bar, a Scottish creation. It wasn't bad, but not something I'd come rushing back to anytime soon.
