Getting Around Scotland

Getting Around Scotland picture 1

The majority of Scots live in the central belt, which spreads from Glasgow in the west to Edinburgh, virtually on the east coast. Public transport here is efficient and most places are easily accessible by train and bus. To the south and north it can be a different story: off the main routes, public transport services can be more scarce, particularly in more remote parts of the Highlands and Islands.

With careful planning, however, practically everywhere is accessible and your clients will have no trouble getting to the main tourist destinations. In most parts of Scotland, especially if the scenic backroads are taken, the low level of traffic makes driving wonderfully stress-free.
