Glasgow to Inverness

10/25/2015

 
When we were planning this trip we debated between renting a car and driving ourselves, hiring a driver/guide to take us about or primarily using the the public ScottRail as transport.  We landed upon ScottRail.  Sunday morning the four of us wheel our luggage the six blocks to Queen Street Station for a train to Perth, connecting us to Inverness.  The scenery along the way keeps us looking out the windows.  Beautiful!

When we arrive in Perth it appears that we have 12 minutes to make our connecting train to Inverness --- along with approximately 50% of the other passengers disembarking.  We all make a dash, asking directions along the way and arrive at the correct track.  Shortly the train arrives and there is a scramble to find spots to stow luggage and find seats.  We have reserved seats, though they are not all together. Once settled in there is an announcement that we will depart 15 minutes late as we must wait for the conductor to arrive.  Oh well, hurry-up and wait.

The scenery changes from tree forests and farmer's crops to more barren grazing land, then back to tree plantations.  At last we arrive in Inverness and take a short taxi ride to Hotel Columba, our home for the next three nights.  We have some time before check-in so we explore the city and stop for a small lunch and a pint.  Later that evening we dine at a restaurant long the Ness river.
