Buses are a very handy means of getting about, for example if you are moving your boat along the coast and need to get back to your car, or maybe the railway station. And of course if you live in Scotland and are over the age of 60 you get to travel free — like me, as you do if you are under 22.
West Coast Motors covers Argyll down to Campbeltown and up the coast to Oban and Fort William, as well as Mull. They connect up with Scottish CityLink buses between Edinburgh, Glasgow, Campbeltown, Oban and Fort William. The Ember electric buses connect Fort William with the Central Belt.
On Islay there are a couple of bus routes.
On Jura Garelochhead Coaches run a bus up and down the main — and only — road.
Shiel buses connect up Morvern, Ardnamurchan, Mallaig and Fort William.
Finally, if you really get stuck, then Coastal Connection based in Oban will sort you out in one of their RIBs, more economical if there are up to 12 of you as it costs £280 for two hours.
