Family friendly attractions in the area include the bustling seaside town of Oban with its Sea Life Centre and distillery; the Natural History Museum on Ardnamurchan; Loch Ness and neighbouring Urquhart Castle; and the Jacobite steam train which runs from Fort William to Mallaig and back (more famously known as the Hogwarts Express route featuring the famous Glenfinnan viaduct from the Harry Potter films!).
