Buckie Part 2

I just realized how much I like to make everything into a series of parts.
I guess I'm just too damn lazy to type everything out into one post.
I've been checking my site meter and realized that there are people who come to my blog looking for how to get from Aberdeen to Buckie.

So since I'm bored and I can't sleep and also due to the fact that I'm such a nice person, I'm going to provide people with the various alternatives of getting to Buckie.

Buckie is located at:
Check the map below yourself.


This is a map of part of Scotland in case you're wondering, and still can't get your head around where I'm trying to show you. Anyway, I've circled Buckie and Aberdeen in RED, so you would be able to identify the places.

Next, the following options for public transport would be:

1) You could take the bus there. There are stagecoach buses which go to Buckie from Aberdeen bus station. I have provided the link here. It's bus number 305 stagecoach, which takes you to Buckie. But I do have to warn you that it's a really long journey, it takes about 3 hours to reach there, as the bus stops at every small, tiny, little, freaking town along the way. I guess it's nice if you enjoy looking at the scenery and checking out all the small towns along the way.

2) Alternatively, you could take the train from Aberdeen to Keith, and from Keith, you could take a bus to Buckie. You can check the train times and the price at this link.

In my opinion, the train is a much more comfortable way to travel although you have to change twice. The train is also more expensive compared to taking the bus, but the total travelling time is 1.5 hours versus 3 hours by bus.
