Rail Tips
Greater Edinburgh, Dundee, St. Andrews and Aberdeen are densely
populated and closely located, so commuter train service between them
is
frequent. Reservations can be made up to three months in
advance, but seats rarely sell
out; you can purchase tickets at the
station or on board. Be sure to
map out a
general itinerary
and secure tee times before
matching
departures and arrivals
accordingly.
Tickets, maps
and schedules are
available at
Scotrail.
Taxis
generally queue at larger
stations and are easily
arranged by phone in
the
remote locales.
The Freedom of Scotland Pass offers affordable, flexible
packages—$201 for four days of travel within eight days or
$270 for
eight days
of travel within 15 days.
