Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Is the Loch Ness and Highlands day trip from Glasgow worth it?

It is one of the most reviewed trips on this site, and it is a long day: about twelve hours, because Loch Ness lies roughly four hours north of Glasgow. If you like scenery and have one day, it works. If you would rather spend less time in the coach, the Glencoe and Oban trips and the Loch Lomond tours are shorter.

Can I visit the Isle of Skye as a day trip from Glasgow?

No. The Skye offers in the listings run for two to five days, and the titles here say so. Skye is far beyond the Highland day trips that leave Glasgow.

Is Glasgow a good base for the Highlands?

For the west, yes: Loch Lomond is about 23 miles north-west of Glasgow, against about 70 from Edinburgh, according to LNER, and Glencoe and Oban are day trips from here. Loch Ness is a different matter: it lies about four hours north, and Inverness is the closer base.

Do I need tickets for Kelvingrove and the Riverside Museum?

No. Both are free to enter, although temporary exhibitions can charge a fee. That is why this site lists no entry tickets for them; the offers here are tours, tastings and day trips.

How do I get from Glasgow Airport to the city centre?

The Glasgow Airport Express 500 bus is advertised at about 15 minutes. Independent guides give 20 to 25 minutes outside rush hour, and weekday rush hour on the M8 can take longer. Airport transfers are not listed on this site.

Can I tour Celtic Park, Ibrox and Hampden?

Yes. All three stadiums have guided tours in the listings: Celtic Park, Ibrox, home of Rangers, and Hampden Park with the Scottish Football Museum. They are separate bookings, so check which stadium and which tour you choose.
