Worth it?
Harry Potter fans will want to time their visit to the Jacobite steam train, since watching it cross the arches is the moment creators build toward. Without the train it is still a fine Highland view, and it costs nothing, as you watch from the surrounding valley. Creators slot it into Scotland road trips of film locations. The Glenfinnan Monument nearby makes a second stop.
