Worth a visit for history buffs and Harry Potter fans alike
The Times has unveiled a list of the 'best tiny museums' in the UK and a Scottish institution is included.
Glenfinnan Station is a working railway station that offers visitors an opportunity to learn more about the history of the West Highland Line. The museum is located in the station building, on the Down platform. Inside the museum, there are exhibits on the geology of the local area, the history of the line's construction, and the difficulties faced by those building it. There are also photos of the station and the surrounding area dating back to the 19th century, as well as a metal ticket machine and model trains.
The Times wrote: "Whether you’re a keen trainspotter or revisiting your Harry Potter obsession, this quaint museum on a stretch of rail track considered to be one of the most dramatic in Britain is a perfect addition to your to-do list while visiting the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct.
