2023 Scotland – September 22
Today was a LONG day as we had to be at the Oban train station early in the morning. The Scot Rail train was taking us from Oban to Malliag and back to Oban. We arrived in Oban about 8 AM and we got back to Island View about 10:30 PM. It ended up being about 300 miles on the train and there were about 30 stops along the way. The trains were pretty comfortable and the scenery was unbelievably beautiful.
We arrived Mallaig and had about 2 hours before heading back to Oban so we decided to get some lunch at the local pub called the The Steam . Food was pretty good and we then hit a few local shops before heading back to the train for the trip back. I would certainly recommend taking a train trip if you ever make it to Scotland but maybe a shorter route than the 8-10 hours we had on the trains.
Below is a Gaia track of the train trip from Oban to Mallaig that shows some pics and stats. I only recorded and tracked the trip on the wayup as it was consuming a lot of my phone battery.
