The Jacobite Steam train is one of the main tourist attractions in Fort Wlliam. It runs from Fort William to Mallaig and back, mainly April - October and during Christmas. It's fascinating and beautiful and the scenery en route is unbelievable. Be sure to book in advance, as it is incredibly popular. You can walk to the train station in 20-25 minutes.
