Below is a link to a map of the UK rail lines near Peeble, Glasgow, &
Edinburgh that show the rail lines that take you past Peeble and
allows you to go to either NE or NW Scotland without passing through
Glasgow or Edinburgh. Routes leading to all 4 of the location I
selected as likely Howarts sites.

Just a little more information. I admit these routes and locations add
some miles to the journey. But if you get much farther south than the
areas I selected, you start to get away from lakes, rivers, and
mountains, and get into more heavily populated areas; too many towns,
too many roads, too many muggles.
Looking at the rail line that goes to area (4), it would probably have
to run along the coast for a short ways, but there is no mention of
the train running along side the sea, so I lean away from area (4).
It's also the smallest, but it is the closest to Edinburgh.
Of course, we are talking about an enchanted place, so it could be in
downtown Edinburgh and no one would notice it. I'm just searching for
places that seem to logically meet the requirements for a place like
Hogwarts. It's not easy trying to find an unplottable ficticious place
on the map.
