Transport

• Should we hire a car or use public transport?
  You are much better with a car. The adventurous will enjoy tying up train services with local bus timetables but it is not an efficient way to use limited time, and some of the most interesting attractions are hard to get to. Driving on the left is not really so hard and we send all our clients some helpful hints in advance!

 

• Can we fly direct to Scotland?

        The following airlines fly direct to Scottish airports.

You can Fly to Glasgow from:

Newark (Continental)

Boston (Flyglobespan)

Orlando (Flyglobespan)

Toronto (Airtransat)

Calgary (Flyglobespan, Canadian Affair)

Vancouver (Flyglobespan)

You can fly to Edinburgh from:

Atlanta (Delta)

New York (Continental)

• Where should we fly to?
  It makes little difference for most itineraries. Glasgow and Edinburgh both have transatlantic flights. Some people find it convenient to come in via Dublin (Ireland) or Schipol (Holland). If you come via London, do not be tempted to drive up to Scotland - flying is both cheap and easy.

• How long does it take to get around?
  If enjoying the countryside as you go, you should reckon on the following:

Glasgow Airport to Inverness Glasgow Airport to Fort William Edinburgh Airport to Inverness Edinburgh Airport to Aberdeen Aberdeen to Inverness Inverness to Skye Bridge

3 hours 45 mins 2 hours 45 mins 3 hours 15 mins 2 hours 30 mins 2 hours 30 mins 2 hours 15 mins

• Do you book ferries for us?
  We are delighted to do so and this is certainly advisable for longer journeys such as the Orkney Islands and the Outer Hebrides where it will dictate your day. However for shorter crossings where there are numerous options it may be better to call and secure your own passage a few days in advance once you have an idea how you want to spend that day.
