My friend took the photo. She lives in Glasgow and we were traveling together.

So the bridge is the Glenfinnan Viaduct, made famous in Harry Potter (I guess-I’ve never watched or read). It opened in 1901.

As for the castle on the hill...it’s Castle Tioram, from the 1300s. The other castle in the distance is Kilchurn, from the 1400s.
It’s always a fun thing to turn a historian loose 😊
