On 26 September we unveiled the latest addition to the station site: 'The Navvy' - a chainsaw sculpture by Justina Kasponyte. It is 125 years since the Mallaig Railway was built and therefore high time the navvies and their back-breaking work is properly celebrated!

Glenfinnan vilage - home to the world famous viaduct and Jacobite monument - is one of the busiest and most popular tourist attractions outside of Edinburgh and Glasgow, however struggles with capacity for the sheer number of visitors arriving by car or motorhome. Crucially, the village is also the home and workplace to people who are affected by anti-social behaviour and dangerous parking along the main road.

Officers from local policing and the roads policing units regularly carry out patrols along the A830, offering advice and when necessary carrying out enforcement. Earlier this afternoon in just a short space of time, a total of 11 motorists were issued with fixed penalty notices for dangerously obstructing the road, having parked partially on the pavement and on the road, causing a hazard for pedestrians and motorists.

Tourists are welcome and encouraged to visit Glenfinnan, but please plan your visit responsibly. There are rail and bus services from Fort William, and many local businesses offer discounts to visitors presenting a rail or bus ticket.
