Over the years I've done three different ferry crossings to Skye (one now replaced by the bridge) and the Mallaig one is my favourite. The drive along the A837 is wonderful!

I'm biased but I always preferred the west coast & the islands. Grampian just looked too barren to me, and a lot of samey landscape driving back down.
At Fort William, turn left and go along the A837, visit Glenfinnan, then on to Mallaig for the Ferry to Skye (or any other island).

This trip is well worth doing... we went to Fort William... then on to Mallaig... at Easter... If you can afford a posh cabin... I would highly recommend it... we had a cheap cabin... and there was no room in the buffet car... so we had to sit on our bunk... and use room service... 🚄🏴

Britain's highest mainline station has no road to it. The West Highland Line crosses Rannoch Moor on track laid over brushwood, then curves over the Glenfinnan Viaduct to the sea.
The West Highland Line: Glasgow to Fort William and Mallaig by Train
Glasgow to Mallaig in about five and a half hours: Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor, the Glenfinnan Viaduct, which side to sit, and whether to ride the Jacobite steam train.

Yes, Eigg, Rum, and Muck are generally mentioned together. I've always loved the north and west.
I think our first experience was in camping in Mallaig in, I'm guessing, 1970, so I was 4 and NFSis, 2. We borrowed a couple of tents from NFDad's department.
Massively influential experience.

A big thank you to Google Maps which decided to SatNav our driver on a route including a ferry from Mallaig
At a time with no ferries
Thankfully we realised BEFORE getting to Mallaig but we were an HOUR out from Fort William so our ETA has gone from half 8 to 11, fucking

Listened to it on the ferry to Inverie from Mallaig one time and when I got to the wee pub there Wildfires was the track playing. Brilliant musicianship, great grooves and a delicate soulful voice. Almost a throwback to Diana Ross in there.

Jour 4 🏴 (lundi 26/10)
Glasgow > Mallaig
Journée entièrement ferroviaire, et la plus rocambolesque que j'ai eu !
En résumé : plus de 10h de train au lieu de normalement 5h, dans un train fantôme de Schrödinger... mais en se marrant avec les conducteurs et avec une belle surprise !

Le ferry ne pouvait pas appareiller avec la tempête, donc pas d'île de Skye. Mais j'ai eu de la chance de trouver des français avec une voiture pour m'emmener à la station de Kyle of Lochalsh !

Totally, glad I made the move when I was young. I also went to Aberdeen so moving to Edinburgh felt like I'd moved back a lot closer to family. All my friends left Wigan at the same time as me. The west coast is stunning. I'd highly recommend the Glasgow - Mallaig train if you haven't done it.
