Transport for Glencoe trip, March 2018

Here is the mandatory wiki for planning transport to Scotland for the Easter Glencoe trip (we have the bunkhouse booked from the afternoon of the 21st to the morning of the 27th).

Important details about the bunkhouse

• Grid reference NN. 116577
• Map is attached at top of page
• The hostel is ~2.75km from the bus stop (so around a 45 minute walk, give or take 10 minutes).
• There is phone signal in the glen but it rapidly becomes patchy as you gain elevation.
• The address is Glencoe Independent Hostel, Glencoe, Near Ballachulish, Argyll, PH49 4HX but be aware that the postcode covers a very large area
