Getting around

Within Scotland, most places can be reached by public transport, via trains, buses and ferries. Scotland’s train services are operated by Scotrail (www.scotrail.co.uk) with the West Highland line from Glasgow to Mallaig proving particularly useful for accessing the mountains. Most of the ferries to the Scottish islands are operated by Caledonian MacBrayne (www.calmac.co.uk). There are also many bus operators with good services linking Scotland’s major towns and cities and, usually, less frequent services in rural areas. Details of public transport to access the mountains in this guide are given in each route description.
