Mallaig is a ideal base to visit the Isle of Skye by ferry, and is most notably renowned for being featured in the Harry Potter movies as the last stop for the famous Jacobite steam train, which follows the road to the Isles from Fort William to Mallaig and returns back again, a journey which passes through some of the most breathtaking scenery in Scotland.
