Check out the Travel Links section for the website details and phone numbers for each of the airlines.
By Rail
National Express trains depart from London King's Cross and run up the east coast via Peterborough, York and Newcastle to Edinburgh. Journey times from London can be as little as 4½ hours to Edinburgh. The main long-distance service to Scotland that doesn't originate in London is on Virgin trains which come direct from Plymouth to Edinburgh via Birmingham. If you would prefer to travel through the night, there is also a direct overnight rail sleeper from London Euston to Inverness run by National Express. Scotrail bargain berths may be an option if you are flexible on your dates.
A quick change in Edinburgh puts you on the Scotrail trains which bring you north to Inverness on a scenic route through the Great Glen. It takes about 3½ hours to reach Inverness. The rail journey here is a relaxed and laid back option and is certainly worth considering if you want to be able to see some of the UK's finest countryside on your way to Inverness...
By Coach
National Express and The Megabus both run coach services from all over the UK to Inverness. Journeys times depend upon the routes taken and the day of the week, but if you're on a budget, the Megabus is a very inexpensive option to get here with fares from as little as £5.50 for journeys from Edinburgh to Inverness.
By Car
The two main driving routes to Scotland from the south are via the east of England on the A1, or via the west using the M6, A74(M) and M74. Both the RAC and the AA offer route-planning guides on their websites to help you plan your journey. From Glasow and Edinburgh allow 3½ hours to reach Inverness. The A9 is the main trunkroad to the Highlands and can be busy (for Highland roads!) at times, so make sure you allow time to stop and take breaks to enjoy the scenery as you drive north.
If you already live in Scotland and know the area, then Highland Campervans is based on the edge of Inverness just along the A96 near Inverness Airport. There is a road sign to Kerrowaird on the A96 and written directions to our location can be downloaded by clicking here.
