Discover Your Own Wizarding World This Autumn With Drummond Scottish Tours

Alnwick Castle, the location for Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter movies.

Whether you’re a life-long Harry Potter fan like Morven here, you can’t deny that the filming locations for the popular movie franchise are spectacular.

As the days turn a little colder and crispier, Alnwick Castle, where Harry first learned to fly a broom, feels especially magical. It is one of the key filming locations for the movies.

The 'Jacobite Express' crossing the Glenfinnan Viaduct, also known as the 'Hogwart's Express'.

If you want to take the magic even further, the Jacobite Steam Train (better known as the ‘Hogwarts Express’) is still one of the most iconic journeys in the world. Watching the train cross over the Glenfinnan Viaduct in autumn is pure wonder and if you’re lucky enough to get a ticket to go on it you’re in for a treat. (Please note the steam train closes on 23rd October 2026 until Spring 2027, and Alnwick closes on the 20th October until Spring 2027).

Across Scotland, there are countless places that inspired J.K. Rowling’s enchanted world. Landscapes which make you feel as if you’ve stepped straight into storyland where anything might happen…
