We then board the 12:40 Stagecoach North Scotland route 26C service to Cromarty (at The Links), arriving there at 13:36 on a Sunday.

 

[DanTrain]

Seeing as it's October and the Cromarty Ferry is no longer running, we decide instead to turn around and board the 13:40 Stagecoach North Scotland service 26A back to North Kessock, at Old Ferry Pier, arriving at 14:22 Sunday afternoon.

 

[Esker-pades]

There isn't a ferry from here either, so we wait for the next bus, which is the 16:22 Stagecoach North Scotland route 26A service to Inverness Bus Station, arriving there at 16:33 on a Sunday.

 

[DanTrain]

Entering the adjacent station, we then board the 17:54 ScotRail service 2H65 to Golspie, arriving at 20:06 Sunday Evening.

 

[Esker-pades]

There don't appear to be any more buses or trains for the day, so we take an early night. In the morning, we walk to the Hospital Road End bus stop and board the 06:00 Stagecoach North Scotland route X98 service to Golspie (at Dunrobin Station), arriving there at 06:02 on a Monday morning.

 

[InterCity:125]

Just beaten to it!

We walk the 6 minutes to the railway station where we board the 08:17 ScotRail service to Georgemas Junction, arriving there at 10:45 on a Monday.

 

[DanTrain]

Seeing as our only rail option is to board the same service to Wick, we instead choose to walk 0.5 miles to the Georgemas Jct bus stop and board the 10:58 Stagecoach North Scotland service 82 to Scrabster, at Ferry, arriving at 11:22 Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

So the inevitable move as we don’t like to back track... the 1811 Stagecoach North Scotland Service 80 to John O’Groats Car Park arriving there at 1819 on Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

There doesn't appear to be any more buses from John O'Groats now, so we stop off overnight and return for the 0630 Stagecoach North Scotland service 277 to Thurso (Sir George's Street Church), arriving there at 0728 on Tuesday morning.

[Andy Pacer]

We then board the 21:15 (same bus) route 201 service to Ballater, Golf Street, arriving there at 22:00 on a Tuesday.

Is this allowed as it is shown in the timetable as the same bus running through, so you could just travel from Banchory all the way you Ballater without getting off at 21:11 and reboarding at 21:15 anyway?

To be safe, I'll strikethrough and we'll go with your post.

 

[DanTrain]

We then take the 2245 Stagecoach Notth Scotland Service 201 to Ballater, Golf Road arriving there at 2326 on Tuesday
