Participants attending for the entire Summer School
We are providing a coach to transfer participants to Skye on Monday
28th May. The coach will leave at 1100 from
Cowcaddens Road, adjacent to Glasgow Caledonian University (see map),
and a short walk from Glasgow Queen St and Glasgow Central railway stations.
It will then call by the Sandyford and Heritage Hotels (where many participants
are staying on May 27th). You should only board the coach at Glasgow
Caledonian University if you are NOT staying in either of these hotels
on Sunday May 27th.
A return coach service will leave Skye on Friday 8th June
at 1200, arriving in Glasgow at approximately 1800.
|
| We have arranged overnight accommodation in Glasgow on Sunday
27th May and/or Friday 8th June for any participants
who have indicated that they require it. Accommodation is in either
the Heritage
or Sandyford
Hotel.
Details of their Glasgow accommodation (including information
on how to get there from Glasgow Airport) has been emailed to participants.
Please contact
us if you have not received it.

| Notes |
| Participants arriving at Glasgow Airport should take the regular bus
service from the Main Terminal Building to Glasgow Queen St railway station. |
| Participants arriving at Edinburgh Airport should take the regular
bus service from the Main Terminal Building to Edinburgh Haymarket
railway station. From there, trains run to Glasgow Queen St every
15 minutes throughout the day. Alternatively, for travel via
Option 2 above, direct trains run between Edinburgh and Inverness.
For the complete timetable see here. |
| Participants who arrive at Kyle of Lochalsh too late to connect to
the local Isle of Skye bus services can take a taxi from there to the Gaelic
College. Taxis are usually waiting outside the Kyle of Lochlash station,
or can be called by telephone. |
