Transport

Scotland is easily accessible from the south, and has a decent transport system across the country. Obvious Scotland transport is less frequent in the more remote regions but iam-scotland.org.uk can provide information of this. To reach Scotland from Northern Ireland there is the Larne to Stranraer ferry service.

In the main cities, there are plenty of buses operating locally and nationally. Glasgow has the one and only underground system in Scotland, known as The Glasgow Subway. The rail services reach as far as Inverness. Journeys can be made from London through to Inverness using the overnight sleeper train.

It’s also possible to take this, The Caledonian, from Stirling through to Inverness and Fort William. Air routes within Scotland are limited, with some services out to the islands from Glasgow and Inverness. The Scotland transport system has to include a good number of ferry routes.

Without the ferry connections the islanders would be cut off from the mainland. A fair number of the ferries take vehicles, so its possible to use the Scotland transport to either take your own car or rent one at an airport. The roads in Scotland are clear so the other Scotland transport option should include road travel.

Bus networks serve the main cities, but for the more remote parts, then the best option is to look through iam-scotland.org.uk and find a good car rental deal. Scotland transport is quite comprehensive, but some planning is needed to make the most of the holiday. That planning is best done by going to iam-scotland.org.uk where all the information is available for the Scotland transport options.
