Hi Listers, I've just heard from Isabel Carter of Saskatchewan, who will be attending the Homecoming with her husband and daughter. She was asking about connections to get to the Tiree Ferry in Oban, so I thought it might be useful to others if I posted these links which are for May, 2006: FERRY to Tiree: one per day, early morning (different time for each day) http://www.calmac.co.uk/summer-coll-tiree-timetable.html TRAIN to Oban: departs Queen St., Glasgow at 18:20 except Tues & Thurs. (see above link) BUS to Oban: from Glasgow Buchanan St. Bus Station at 8:30 and 12:00 and 18:00 http://www.citylink.co.uk/images/timetables_online/CG34_nov_21-11-05/glas2ob an-28-11-05.pdf Please don’t take my word for any of the above. Confirm this information on the current shedules before making any plans using it. Cheers, Louise MacDougall Vancouver Island, BC Canada -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

One more trip segment: Glasgow Airport to Queen Street railway station (or bus station) I don't have the link at hand, but I found that there are two bus services from the airport to downtown that stop at the rail and bus stations. The buses leave the airport several times an hour.
