[Lochmaben Castle]

An early 14th century castle with moat, huge defensive walls and turbulent history... sounds like a rewarding day out? Well, today's Lochmaben Castle is actually rather less than the sum of its potential parts - a structurally unsafe ruin partly blocked off by metal fences when we last visited. But throw in the picturesque Castle Loch beyond the stonework, and it's a worthwhile rural stop-off.

Help: Public transport in Scotland

Image
This page gives a general overview of public transport options within Scotland. If you're planning to hire a car (or bring your own), please see our Driving in Scotland page. For help on travelling to Scotland, please see our Travelling to Scotland page.


Overview

Despite the odd grumble by locals, Scotland boasts an excellent public transport system, providing a greener alternative to travelling by private vehicle. A comprehensive network of train and bus routes connect all mainland towns and cities as well as many smaller villages, and by using a combination of these you can generally get wherever you want to go. Ferry and air services connect the islands dotted around the north and west coasts, though Skye is also served by buses via its road bridge. Many routes are scenic and a few - such as parts of the West Highland Line - offer vistas you can't get from the roadside. Town and city centres are generally compact enough to explore on foot.

Of course, getting around Scotland…

Whaligoe Steps

Highland | Whaligoe | Historic stairway | ★★★★

The Whaligoe (Whale Geo) Steps aren't any old steps. They're an incredible feat of 18th or 19th century engineering, constructed to enable fisherman to descend an otherwise vertical cliff face to reach their boats in the sheltered inlet below. Volunteers have since kept them from falling into disrepair, but take your head for heights as you descend, remembering that you have to re-ascend them all (approximately one for every day of the year) on your return. Only after making the full trip to the bottom can you begin to appreciate what an amazing and unlikely fishing location this really was. There aren't any signposts showing the way - see below for some brief directions. Good to combine with the Cairn of Get, a short walk away.


Directions (a step-by-step guide, perhaps?)

When driving north through the few houses at Whaligoe on the A9, turn sharply right opposite the (left) signposted road for the Cairn of Get. The narrow road …

Stanley Mills

Perth & Kinross | Stanley | Museum | ★★★★

Stanley Mills are a stunning surviving relic of the Industrial Revolution, now looked after by Historic Scotland after a turbulent history. Local entrepreneurs first chose this site by the River Tay for a cotton mill in 1786, building Stanley village nearby to house and cater for employees. The site often changed hands over the following decades and went out of business several times due to fires, a troubled economy and overseas overproduction. There were intervening successful periods though, and the mills only closed for good in 1989. Today many of the buildings house outstanding displays and interactive exhibits documenting the mill's past, and this is one of Historic Scotland's most engaging (and reasonably priced) attractions.
