Scotland Without a Car Travel Guide
Navigate Scotland’s public transport with confidence without being limited to cities.
A practical guide to planning and travelling around Scotland without a car, based on 10+ years of firsthand experience exploring Scotland by train, bus and ferry.
Are you planning a trip to Scotland and don’t want to drive? Or maybe you’re thinking about taking the train or ferry, but you’re unsure about how they work? I’ve been there!
And while Scotland is absolutely possible without a car, planning a trip this way can take more research than you might expect.
Navigating unfamiliar public transport systems is nerve-wracking at the best of times. Then there’s also the added worry about cancellations or delays, sky-high prices and getting stranded in the middle of nowhere.
You might also be wondering whether you can actually see much in Scotland by public transport. As a non-driver who has spent a decade exploring Scotland without a car, you absolutely can, and I’m sharing exactly how to do it in this easy-to-read digital guide.
