Buses

Several companies run local buses around the towns and villages of the Highlands & Islands.

Highland Country Buses run the local bus services in the area covering Loch Ness, Cannich, Tomich, Ardersier, Cawdor and Nairn.

Tim Dearman Coaches run an Inverness to Durness bus service stopping at remote Highland destinations including Elphin, Garve, Inchnadamph, Kylesku, Laxford Bridge, Lochinver, Rhiconich, Ullapool, Unapool, Scourie, Smoo Cave, Kinlochbervie and anywhere on the route on request if it is safe to stop. This bus runs weekdays and Saturdays, May to September.

In some areas the Postbus which carries passengers with the mail may be the only public transport available.

Planning is essential, especially if travelling to remote areas using public transport. Bus timetable information for all buses and public transport services in the Highlands & Islands is available from Traveline Scotland and the Highland Council.
