For a treat, to rest our weary limbs, we took the Jacobite from Fort William to Mallaig and back again. We were disappointed that despite booking our tickets in February we were not allocated seats to be able to view the Glenfinnan viaduct either on the way out or on the return. No polite announcement was made by the conductor to suggest that everyone remain seated so that people on the other side of the aisle might be able to appreciate the scene too. Hey ho, the luck of the draw and all that... not.
We had a short stroll around Mallaig before the rain set in. Again. We felt yesterday's sodden walk justified us sitting in the chippy slurping pop (the fried calamari wasn't all that) through straws and watching the world and the 'Scone of Destiny' pass us by, whilst the engine turned round.
