Either bus & ferry from Armadale to Mallaig then train or bus over the Skye Bridge to Kyle of Lochalsh then train http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/MLG/Glasgow/tomorrow/2130/first Book several weeks in advance for the best fare on the trains | 1 | |
It probably depends exactly where in Skye you are. There are two direct buses a day from Portree to Inverness, where there are regular trains to Glasgow. There are also connecting buses from Portree to Kyle of Lochalsh to meet the train to Inverness. http://www.stagecoachbus.com/highlands-plusbus.aspx I guess via Armadale and Mallaig would take rather longer. There is also a direct bus from Portree to Glasgow with Scottish Citylink. | 2 | |
