Scotland

7 places reachable without changing . 3 carry a journey time and 7 a named operator. 1 are served by two boats at different speeds, where the choice costs about 6 h 00. Nothing here is a departure time — we hold rates, not timetables.

Before you buy a ticket

1 of 7 are served by two boats at different speeds. The fast one saves about 6 h 00 — a real decision, and one no single operator's site lays out for you.
5 have an airport within 40 km of the quay. Arrive by sea and leave by air — the combination no single-mode operator has a reason to show you.
7 operators run from here: Caledonian MacBrayne, NorthLink, Northlink Ferries and 4 more — each selling only their own crossings.

Where you can go without changing

Every destination reachable without a change. One bar per mode, on one axis, so the train and the coach to the same place can be compared by eye. Distances are great-circle and the rate is a stated lower bound — 1 of 7 carry one.

Which months these run

Season not heldwe can say when we looked, not which months run

Our records for crossings from Scotland were read on 11 August 2026 and describe the network as it ran that week. We hold no month-by-month variation, so this page cannot tell you whether a crossing runs in February.

If you are travelling well outside August 2026, confirm with the operator before you plan around it.
