Public Transport in Scotland, a guide for boaters


Tuesday 9th April

It’s time to go home. Bonzo will be missing us.
Up at 0545, 3 minute walk to ferry terminal.
The Scrabster – Stromness  ferry is, like all things Orkadian, very pleasant.
Here is a picture of Stromness’ very pleasant harbour.

Bus to Inverness.
As we had a 90 minute break in Inverness, we decide to visit a friendly café just nearby.
I think I now understand why Inverness is listed as a World Heritage Site for Atherosclerosis. We had coffees.
Bus to Perth.
Bus to Glasgow.
(At this point we expected to get a very pleasant train to Troon, but, no, the one bus from Glasgow to Troon Marina was due to leave in just ten minutes.)
Bus to Troon.
Chat with very nice staff at Troon Marina.
A lovely dinner, sleep and breakfast in the wonderful South Beach Hotel.


We like the South Beach Hotel in Troon

Wednesday 10th April

We drove home.
Bonzo had been missing us.
