Routings & Timings

Scotland is blessed with a fascinating variety of cities and wonderful scenery and ….. a vast range of road types ranging from international standard motorways to single track roads where a flock of sheep can constitute a major traffic jam.

The map tells you where you might want to go and the table not only tells you how far it is from A to B but also how long it takes on the widely used tourist routes.

The information is based on HOSTGA guides cumulative experience of itineraries and on coach touring - so you car/people carrier drivers can reckon on slightly shorter journey times.

It is always sensible, however, to check itinerary timings in advance and given sufficient warning HOSTGA guides are always ready to help. So why not contact us before you publish that brochure – it could help you, and us!

This table does not allow for any comfort or sightseeing stops or the like and can only therefore be taken as an indication . Obviously traffic conditions and density vary vastly during the year.

If you want to know how long you should plan in for a visitor attraction – we use the following rule of thumb (based on 30 pax)

Distillery 1½ hrs (minimum)
Castle 1½ - 2hrs
Ferries – generally add ½ hr for advance check in time
