Advice Needed - Glasgow to Glenogil

[lxfe_mxtterz]

Hi all.

There's the possibility I may end up in Glasgow for a couple of days soon, and if so I'm planning to visit Redwings Mountains (horse sanctuary) in Glenogil.

The only problem is I have very little idea how to go about getting there! The location is very remote, and there doesn't appear to be a timetabled bus service in the area.

Therefore, assuming I'd have to use a taxi for the last leg, my initial thoughts were something along the lines of...

Glasgow > Dundee (train)
Dundee > Forfar (bus)
Forfar > Glenogil (taxi)

Not hugely thrilled by the idea of using a taxi, given the price and amount of bad experiences I've had, so does anybody know if there is a demand-responsive bus or similar operating in the area?

Are there any other (easier) ways of getting there?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Why not contact Redwings in Glenogil and ask if it’s possible to get there by public transport, and if so, how.

If, by any chance, you are a cyclist, National Cycle Route 16 runs between Forfar and Glenogil, with an estimated one-way time of 3 hours and 30 minutes. Perhaps you could hire a bike in Forfar?

Googlemaps is helpful here, and suggests there are very limited buses at school times which would get you within a mile of destination - the nearest is actually operated by Stagecoach. I would suggest contacting the organisation- rural bus operators (maybe not Stagecoach) often do taxis as well in between school runs.
