2. West Highland Line, Scotland
The West Highland Line is a railway line linking the ports of Mallaig and Oban in the Scottish Highlands to Glasgow in
Central Scotland. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust
in 2009, ahead of the notable Trans-Siberian line in Russia and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru. The ScotRail
website has since reported that the line has been voted the most scenic railway line in the world for the second year
running.
The West Highland Line is one of two railway lines which access the remote and mountainous west coast of Scotland, the
other being the Kyle of Lochalsh Line which connects Inverness with Kyle of Lochalsh. The line is the westernmost railway
line in Great Britain.
