1 From Edinburgh to Stonehaven?

Hi Alba [img:1vrn0doh]http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/huepfen/jumping-smiley-021.gif[/img:1vrn0doh]


I don't have a car at the moment. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt="" title="Weinen" />
I wish I had. You are so much more independent [img:1vrn0doh]http&#58;//www&#46;clicksmilies&#46;com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-006&#46;gif[/img:1vrn0doh]
but since I have to spend my money for this enterprise I have postponed the purchase.
Nevertheless, I think I can live with 20 to 30p. Many thousand thanks for your valuable help.

I can recommend the Travelinescotland.com website for planning all public transport journeys in Scotland (buses, coaches, trains, ferries). They give you all your options for your chosen journey (you fill in starting and finishing points), with timings and service providers.
They also have links on their homepage to all the providers, so you can go straight to the relevant sites to find out prices, order tickets etc.
I use it all the time - invaluable.

I have linked to some CURRENT Dunnotar/Edinburgh services below. Check the summer timetable nearer the time - it is likely to be better, if anything.

Trains seem to be the best option here, but generally for travel in Britain, the long-distance coaches (National Express, Citylink, Stagecoach, Megabus) give better value for money, and cover more areas.

Alba's coaches to Aberdeen would be cheaper than the train normally, though you can get special offers if you book early online. But you would then have to go on Travelinescotalnd to find buses from Aberdeen to Dunottar junction. Have a go - but remember the timetable shown is only valid till end of March, then new summer timetable.

Hi Old Red Sandstone <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Sehr glücklich" /> ,
[img:39gvrsm7]http&#58;//www&#46;smileyarchiv&#46;net/smiley/grinsend0000&#46;gif[/img:39gvrsm7]
thank you very much for your endeavours.
Looking at the map of Scotland I thought it could be possible to go on a trip to Stonehaven. But even at the era of internet it sometimes proves to be difficult to find correct and useful information.

I will try the links [img:39gvrsm7]http&#58;//www&#46;mysmilie&#46;de/smilies/schilder/img/004&#46;gif[/img:39gvrsm7]

Many thousand thanks

Edinburgh - Stonehaven, no problem:

Or:
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href=" www.firstscotrail.trainsfares.co.uk/Time...isplay_Timetable.asp "> www.firstscotrail.trainsfares.co ... etable.asp

And availability and prices (you normally have to register - easy! - to get onto this step):
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href=" www.firstscotrail.trainsfares.co.uk/Time...isplay_Timetable.asp "> www.firstscotrail.trainsfares.co ... etable.asp

See - it CAN be done!

Hello Old Red Sandstone [img:1ynflwzx]http&#58;//www&#46;mysmilie&#46;de/smilies/froehlich/27&#46;gif[/img:1ynflwzx] ,

Thank you again for your support. [img:1ynflwzx]http&#58;//www&#46;mysmilie&#46;de/smilies/schilder/img/004&#46;gif[/img:1ynflwzx]

I looked at the sites and it looks like the trip from Edinburgh to Stonehaven takes about three hours.

I was suprised to see that there are even buses at late nights for the return journey.

Kind regards,

Friends of mine took the postbus to travel in Scotland - that's cheap and said to be great fun!! It might take you a bit longer but if the drivers are ok, who cares!!!
