FERRY
TRAVEL IN SCOTLAND
Traveling
to Scotland from Europe by car ,coach or train involve crossing the English Channel
, the Irish Sea or the North Sea. Regular ferry services operate between ports
in the UK, Scotland and Europe. The Channel Tunnel provides a direct non-stop
rail link to the UK from France and Belgium.
In Scotland, Island-hopping by ferry is an enjoyable and cost-effective way to
travel and experience the beauty of Scotland's islands. A
cruise around some of Scotland's islands is perhaps the most enjoyable way to
experience this aspect of Scotland. The Hebridean
Princess offers luxury accommodation, excellent cuisine and imaginative
itineraries from Oban on Scotland's west coast.
