Sunday Train Service

Last year's experiment by Scotrail to offer a direct train service from Edinburgh to Oban went well - so much so that for this season the service has been extended and the first service leaves Edinburgh on 26th June and runs for the next 10 Sundays. Of course you can stay for more than one day and we hope you will do so as five hours is not enough time to appreciate any of the surrounding attractions in Lorn. Consider it a wee taster of what's on offer.

If you are planning a trip to Cologin by public transport then the easiest route is from Glasgow by train or coach. There are daily services from Glasgow city centre throughout the year and in the summer extra trains are provided. From Perth, Inverness, Stirling and Edinburgh the only real options are by coach -  summer only services - or by train if you can travel on a Sunday from Edinburgh! Once in Oban you really would be advised to hire a car. There is no public bus to Cologin (other than the school bus) and using taxis all week could cost more than hiring. Argyll has many attractions but most of them are not on the main bus routes so a car is your best bet. At least we have fantastic scenery to look at as you drive around.
