Dufftown can be reached from Forres on the very frequent Whisky Trail bus service operated by Stagecoach Bluebird, which travels through Findhorn, Craigellachie and Aberlour.

Reaching Tomintoul by public transport is more difficult. There is a once-a-day, school days only bus service from Aberlour, and a service three times a week from Dufftown. When funding is available, a Heather Hooper bus service is operated daily in the tourist season between Newtonmore and Ballater.

The frequent bus service between Inverness and Aberdeen stops at Cullen, Buckie and Elgin. From Elgin, a bus or train can be used to return to Aviemore.

Many of the transport providers have websites (see Appendix B).

If a car is used for reaching the area then arrangements for safe parking will have to be made for the duration of the walk. One option is to ask the proprietors of your B&B or hotel at the start of the walk whether it is possible to park there (it would be polite to offer to stay there for a second night before picking up your car for the drive home). Two cars are useful for small groups planning to walk the trails as a series of day walks (see ‘ssss1’ above).
