This is a fine vantage point for views of the Glenfinnan Viaduct backed by Meall a'Bhainne and Beinn Odhar Mhòr. The famous 21-arch concrete railway bridge reaches 100 feet (30 m) above the valley floor at its highest. Its fame was increased thanks to its use in the Harry Potter film franchise, carrying the Hogwarts Express on its way to the magical School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
