BRITAIN'S MOST SCENIC BUS ROUTE? Mallaig to Fort William along 'The Road to the Isles'

[@steve-marsh]

Haha I love it! And the reason I'm laughing is because I'm just about to upload dash cam footage from the same road but in the other direction! :D We really need to do a colab on a timetable challenge sometime! Hey, I think I even passed a Shiel Bus enroute! :) Great video Scott - again you find the best public transport!

[@witterquickly]

Literally just went from your vid to this one - had never heard of the "road to the isles" before now I see it twice consecutively!

[@domniven]

Just found this channel last week and I am really enjoying uploads.

[@Mylifeinfilm74]

I only found your channel 3 days ago, and I’m just blown away, by what you do.😊

[@steve-marsh]

I'll say well found Damien! Totally agree, love Scott's videos

[@bobblue5501]

Even if you don’t love travel and/or tourism, you have to love Scott :)

[@marygarner5249]

Sorry late always love your Adventures Hi SCOTT 😁😁😁😁👍

Used to be known as the fish box route when Mallaig was a big herring fishing port. Sections of the road ised to be turned into skating rinks from spilled fish bree.

[@falafel4618]

It would be really nice to see you try the spine route in the Outer Hebrides - all the way from Castlebay on Barra to Stornaway. Pre-pandemic it used to be possible to do it in a day (albeit a very, very long day sat on a multitude of minibuses) and it probably still is, but must be a fantastic trip taking in CalMac ferries as well. Keep up the videos - always interesting to see!

I enjoy people like you and Steve traveling around Scotland - enjoy seeing home - thanks.

Lovely vid, just missing a few things: price (vs. recent train journey? Just to give us an idea); map, I have a general idea, but seeing a map without having to search would be great

[@lochlainnmacneill2870]

Wonderful. Thanks.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Scott,what a brilliant video,first time watching,I find these interesting,and I've just subbed to your channel.

[@erikramaekers63]

Beautiful scenery

[@Sim0nTrains]

Found your channel a few weeks ago while looking on KZbin and honestly really been enjoying your videos, I'm not into buses but the ride was enjoyable but even myself would take the train to ride this line. lovely video.

[@cameronc393]

Love the video - you might find the UK's longest bus route (ie not a Megabus-style limited stop inter city route), the Citylink 915 from Glasgow to Uig interesting as well!

[@ronalddailey5208]

Thanks for taking me on your trip great video.

[@bigmick3978]

new sub love the content can you state how much tickets cost more often thanks

[@nedcollier1495]

Hi Scot, I am recent to your Channel, love your content, your patience and your capacity for endurance. Very entertaining, thank you. Eamonn

[@andyhughes5885]

The most scenic bus journey i took was about 10 years ago from Stornoway down to Tarbet on the Isle of Harris. Its a coach you catch from the seafront with a lot of the journey on single lane roads.

[@JohnTaylor-bf6ll]

Thanks for the tip. In actual fact, I had already heard about it, but you've confirmed it. I'll be going next year. Would you like to advise other most scenic bus routes?

[@YorksLancsTransportHub]

Voted most scenic bus route in Britain was the 840 from Leeds to Whitby.

[@thealbagalavanter9986]

Awsome video just wondering if I could ask what the route number of the bus that you took was? You have inspired me to film the route for my own channel

[@LB1973]

There are a load of routes that I would argue were more scenic most obvious being Glasgow to Uig on Skye which has Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor, Glen Coe, Loch Linnhe, the Great Glen, Loch Garry (the Loch shaped like Scotland), Loch Cluanie down to the coast to Eilean Donan Castle, Skye Bridge and the whole of Skye. Then there is the road over the top to Glenelg or out to Ardnamurchan both sadly are one per day so you end up getting stuck there. There are buses up to Durness and Lochinver as well which i can't vouch for as i've never been up that way (I'm in the Fort) but I'm sure its stunning.

[@simondlatham5939]

Beautiful route nonetheless. How long and how much was the journey?

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I didn't know about that bus but I've walked a bit of it from Mallaig to Morrar and done the train too.I think that a Scottish City Link might run along there too and comes from/goes to either Edinburgh or Glasgow.It is very scenic and I remember waiting at Morrar station,I think it was in a February,and you could see Eigg and Rhum and to top it all Venus, Jupiter and the crescent Moon above them!

I stay in Fort William and we love the trip to Mallaig very enjoyable and at mallaig we have fish and chips and an ice cream

[@luisstransport]

Great video

[@sheilam4525]

New subscriber here, your videos are so entertaining and informative! You showcase our beautiful country brilliantly!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Kenbur]

very interesting perspective

[@Madjock1965]

Very nice. There is a good bus trip from From Rothesay to Dunoon you stay on the bus as it goes on to the CalMac Frey at Rhubodach to Colintravie. I have done this three times and I have been lucky with the weather

[@brianbell4937]

Sadly no more

[@Madjock1965]

@@brianbell4937 many thanks for this Information. I see that you can still do it but you have to walk on to the ferry. It is such a lovely trip.

[@brianbell4937]

That road is very improved these days, much of it used to be single track. Back when I used the bus along there, there was no regular bus between Morar (near Mallaig) and Corpach (near Fort William), other than maybe at school times. However there was a special summer only "heatherhopper" bus that ran a couple of times a week between Mallaig and Aviemore that I caught.

[@link1lin325]

I just came out of fort William in Friday

[@pljpmas1623]

Hi. Not sure if this has been covered before, but the Shiel Bus route 506 from Fort William to Kilchoan is pretty impressive, and only 1 service each direction each day. Maybe there's a loop back through Mull to Oban to save a night in a tent!

[@tonybrown2284]

Hello.very 👍 👍 👍 Thank you.please 👌 up the 👍 👍 work.be safe and thank you for all that you do.

[@Andrewjg_89]

I’ve been on a couple scenic bus routes especially around the East of England. And some are very interesting.

[@simoneortolani3604]

Not exactly the newest bus possible

[@Kimberley42]

I'd argue that the Tim Dearman bus that used to run from Inverness to Durness in the summer is the most scenic route, but I'm not sure it runs anymore, so this is a great alternative.

[@SteveSmithRailways]

Were there many other passengers on board?

[@torquilmacleod2577]

Kyle of Lochalsh to Fort William is a more scenic drive

[@terry987654]

I would say fort william to kyle of lochalsh is one of the most scenic roads i have driven.

[@jordanlawrie8331]

Should've changed at Lochailort and gone to Acharacle

[@haggismuncher429]

Na! Skye to Fort William.
