Best transport options? Glasgow>Oban>Skye>Inverness>Stirling
Hello -- I'm planning my honeymoon for August and have booked lodging in Glasgow, Oban, Skye, Inverness and near Stirling (Port of Menteith). I know there are some good train and bus routes, and I also know that certain locations (especially Skye) will require renting a car.
Would love some advice on the best transport options for getting from between these places and generally around Western Scotland.
Thanks
Dan from the US

For travel around Scotland by public transport, @spoots has created a comprehensive list of all options available that connect all the spots you're interested in. My personal recommendation would be Glasgow - Oban by train, Oban - Skye by buses (you'll have to leave early), Skye - Inverness by bus to Kyle followed by the Kyle line train and Inverness to Stirling by train. The attached thread links to the travel operator websites.
