Bus service to Kilmartin Museum criticised in Scottish Government report

A report commissioned by the Scottish Government and published yesterday criticised the bus access to Kilmartin Glen In Argyll, with over 350 ancient monuments. The report, concerned with improving access to cultural activities in Scotland, noted that Kilmartin Museum had only a limited bus service with ‘inconsistent timetabling’ from its provider, West Coast Motors. It also highlighted less than satisfactory public information on this service which runs between Lochgilphead and Oban. A major conclusion of the report is that a low priority on public transport access to cultural sites and activities excludes a large number of potential customers. With Scottish tourism revenues from the UK and elsewhere targeted for a rise of 50% by 2015, this is a ball that cannot be dropped.
