Understandably in this neck of the woods there isn't any further transport for the remainder of the day, so we return in the morning for the 0650 ScotRail service 2H60 to Ardgay, arriving there at 0907 on Wednesday morning.

The northbound Post Office bus stop is only 269' away, so we head there and await the 1035 Stagecoach Highlands service 62, from which we alight at Lairg (Post Office) at 1057 on Wednesday.

Just too far from the railway station and bus station so we'll have to stick to local buses, as we take the nine minute walk to Broad Street and there board the 0826 First Aberdeen service 19 to Tillydrone (St George's Church), arriving there at 0844 on Thursday morning.
