Just looked up how I would get to Orkney to visit the friend I met yesterday without flying. It would take 1 day 1 hour by train to get the Thurso to catch the ferry to the islands, going Wales to London, London to Edinburgh, then to Aberdeen, then change at Inverness for Thurso. Hmm
@purplepadma Why Aberdeen? You can get a train to Inverness direct from Edinburgh, which would save you a lot of time! Also the train from Inverness to Thurso is exceptionally scenic, which is why it takes much longer, the bus is quicker.
@purplepadma Trainline probably the best way to find a train route. I lived in Caithness for over 10 years, then moved to near Keith in Aberdeenshire so I know the north of Scotland very well!
