The Club runs a number of events that are part of the triathlonScotland race calendar - more information can be found in the “race”category”. The following information provides a brief outline of the travel options (see www.visitorkney.com for further information).Road and Rail Links
Whether you travel by car, coach or train, the main approach follows the A9 from Perth to Caithness, which has been much improved and shortened in recent years. By train you can travel to Thurso, where a bus connects to the ferry at Scrabster, or Aberdeen where the station is near to the harbour area. There is also a coach connection from Inverness/Wick to Gills Bay. By coach you can either go to Scrabster or John O’Groats (but remember that the John O’Groats route is a summer, passenger-only service).The last leg of your northward journey will be by the sea, with a choice of sailings from Aberdeen and Scrabster, Gills Bay or John O’Groats in Caithness. NorthLink Ferries provide a service through Aberdeen and Scrabster, and the timetable includes evening sailings.Pentland Ferries’ route between Gills Bay and St. Margarets’s Hope adds further choice and flexibility. It takes 1 hour and runs 4 times daily in summer (check website for winter sailings).John O’Groats Ferries provides a May – September passenger service to Burwick on South Ronaldsay, served by the Orkney Bus, ticketed through from Inverness to Kirkwall.
