The West Highland Line (Scottish Gaelic: Rathad Iarainn nan Eilean – Iron Road to the Isles) is a railway line linking the ports of Mallaig and Oban in the Scottish Highlands to Glasgow in Central Scotland. The line was voted the top rail journey in the world by readers of independent travel magazine Wanderlust in 2009 ahead of the iconic Trans-Siberian line in Russia and the Cuzco to Machu Picchu line in Peru.
