Steam through the Scottish Highlands

The “Road to the Isles” - Join Clive Anderson as he takes his first class seat on a journey of discovery over Britain’s most scenic railway – the “Road to the Isles” from Fort William to Mallaig.

Clive confesses to a wave of nostalgia as he recognizes a familiar sound from his childhood – the beat of a steam engine.

He sees the summit of Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain, visits a whisky distillery, the railway museum at Glenfinnan and witnesses fish being landed and processed at Mallaig.

All the while, Clive chats to those on board the train with stories to tell, from the business of actually running the steam train to the restoration of the veteran engine – which was scrapped and deemed beyond repair – to a real-life Jacobite, the secretary of the ’45 association.
