Not a tourist in sight - a photo on Flickriver

            During the summer months we were used to seeing both car parks rammed full, and closed to new arrivals by 10.00 AM. And around 1000 people would climb the hillside to watch the Jacobite "Harry Potter Express" steam train cross the viaduct an hour later. 

A few still come, and watch the diesel rail car service from Fort William to Mallaig that makes the same journey as the Jacobite.  They seem to be obsessed with all things Harry Potter and need to see all the sites where filming took place in this area north west of Fort William. It still looks impressive in the early morning winter sunlight.

The Harry Potter thing is great for bringing in tourists. I just think we should have called our B&B something like Greyback House B&B or Moomin Valley B&B. Too late now: it's Innes House.
