Thanks everyone but: there is no bus from Buchanan St. to Acharacle - there are two from Ft. William but they leave l.25 and 3.20 so before the train gets in...and the morning School bus back to the village (got this last time on the Friday morning) no longer goes, nor do I fancy hitch-hiking. So I will stay on the train to Lochailort, take out a second mortgage, and get the cab. The hotel tell me that Anthony and Jaqueline Ford are at the hotel and may well wish to share my cab. If there's anyone else out there, all welcome!!

As for the Best Wild Pitch Ever : why would I be interested in that? I am the woman with the lightweight hair-styler in the back. Barbara.

Barbara, Providing you can arrive Glasgow Buchannan Street Bus Station before 10:00am The Scottish Citylink coach departs at 10:00hrs arriving Fort William Bus Station at 13:08 and the wonderfully named Shiel Buses bus departs from same location at 13:25hrs. This information is according to both companies current time tables for May 2014.
You can even get off Citylink Bus at Corran Ferry and catch Shiel Bus there.
If doing this I strongly suggest you contact Shiel Buses beforehand to inform them. Board 13:45 ferry to Ardgour as a foot passenger and board bus on the ferry. Do not wait at bus stop as bus will likely shoot right past and onto ferry!
Hope this helps

If you get the 10am bus from Glasgow to Fort William you will be in time to get a bus to Acharacle. The other option is to get off at the Coran ferry and cross to get a bus to Acharacle.

I see Mr Shiel beat me to it.
