What is the best way to travel to Skye from Glasgow via public transport?

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure there is a bus. Go to the tourist information centre and pick up a leaflet.

Answer 2

It will have to be bus once you get on Skye as the train does not go over the bridge.....but you can get a bus I think from Glasgow...not sure if there is a direct train or you have to go via Inverness I think there is only a small single track line to Kyle of Lochalsh If you have the choice the railway passes some outstanding scenery

Answer 3

Glasgow - Kyle of Lochalsh by train or bus via Inverness
then it has to be bus over the bridge to Skye!

Answer 4

There's some excellent info on this site. It's the site of the White Heather Hotel but it gives you all the local buses, taxis, coaches, railways etc... http://www.whiteheatherhotel.co.uk/Buses.html

Personal recomendation: West Highland Line from Glasgow to Fort William which goes through some incredible scenery including the wild expanse of Rannoch Moor. From Ft Wm take the West Coast Line to Mallaig, more amazing scenery including the Glenfinnan Viaduct. From Mallaig catch the Calmac ferry to Armadale on Skye which has excellent views of the island as you approach and other islands including Rhum and Eigg and of the mountains of the Knoydart Peninsular. Finally local transport to your destination. Rapsons operate buses from Armadale throughout the island and there's a local taxi company there as well.
