Well worth doing especially if you are a Harry Potter fan or love fresh fish and chips at fort William or malliag.

Thunder in the glens is back!

Welcome to our 2027 Era!

Thunder in the Glens® Returns for 2027 with New Highland Home in Kingussie

Friday 27th to Monday 30th August 2027

Dunedin Chapter Scotland is delighted to announce that Thunder in the Glens® will return in 2027, following a planned one-year pause in 2026, with a fresh new format and a new Highland home in Kingussie – the capital of the Highlands.

The decision to pause the event in 2026 provided an opportunity to reflect on the future of Thunder in the Glens® and ensure the rally could return in a way that protects what has always made it special – the Harley-Davidson® community, the friendships built over decades, and the unique Highland experience riders travel to be part of.

Going back to its roots, Thunder in the Glens® 2027 will be a smaller, more intimate rally while retaining the spirit, atmosphere and warm welcome that has made it one of Europe’s best-loved Harley-Davidson® rider events.

Organised by Dunedin Chapter Scotland, part of the global H.O.G®. family, the new-look event will place an even greater emphasis on riders, community and connection, bringing Harley-Davidson® owners and enthusiasts together in the heart of the Highlands. Tickets will be released to Dunedin Chapter Scotland members first and then to the HOG community; we fully expect it sell out at that stage.

Visitors can still expect the unmistakable atmosphere that Thunder in the Glens® is known for – great entertainment, organised ride-outs, Highland hospitality, the sound of Harley-Davidson® motorcycles and the camaraderie that has defined the rally for more than two decades.

Kingussie has been selected as the rally’s new home, offering outstanding Highland riding routes, a strong local community and an ideal base for exploring some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.

Supporting the event, Thunder in the Glens® will work in partnership with three local hotels, with accommodation packages available alongside rally ticket sales. Further information on tickets, accommodation and the rally programme will be released in due course.

🚂✨ All aboard for a little Highland drama… ✨🚂

We’re thrilled to share this fantastic post from Strathspey Railway – a true gem of the Scottish Highlands, and now with a starring role you might recognise! 👀

Fans of The Traitors may have spotted the iconic steam train making an appearance as part of the show’s atmospheric journey through the Highlands. There’s something undeniably magical about seeing this historic railway brought to life on screen – all that mystery, intrigue… and stunning scenery!

The best part? You can experience it for yourself. From the sound of the whistle to the breathtaking views along the route, a trip on the Strathspey Railway is like stepping straight into your own Highland adventure (minus the plotting, of course… or maybe not 😉).

If you’re planning a stay with us, this is one experience you won’t want to miss. Who knows – you might just feel like a contestant on your own Highland escape!

📍 Stay local, explore more, and make your getaway one to remember.

If you’ve watched BBC’s The Traitors, you’ll have seen our railway play its part...

Our heritage railway has been used as a filming location for every series of BBC’s The Traitors. Contestants have travelled in the same carriages our visitors ride in today, and some of the most dramatic moments were filmed right here on our railway.

In series 1-4 contestants boarded our steam train at Boat of Garten station, in series 3 some were banished in our yard beside Boat of Garten station. In The Celebrity Traitors Finale, the celebrities boarded at Broomhill, our train provided the dramatic setting for the explosive onboard celebrity challenge!

Visiting the railway is a bit like stepping into the show itself. You are travelling in the same carriages the contestants did, through the same Highland scenery. This photo shows Claudia stood on the platform at our Broomhill Station, next to our train!

This spring, you can experience the journey for yourself 🌼🚂

Join us for a scenic steam* train ride through the Cairngorms, perfect for a relaxed day out with family or friends.

📅 Running daily (except Fridays) throughout the rest of April and May
🎟️ Tickets available now:
