We take the four minute walk to the bus station and board the 0850 Stagecoach Highlands service X98 to Dunbeath (War Memorial on Village Road) that arrives there at 1125 on Thursday morning.
Just be thankful you will not end up in Lybster....or Smoo Cave in Leirinmore....
We take the two minute walk to North Brae and next board the 1224 D & E Coaches service 906 to Golspie (the bus stop opposite the Bank of Scotland on Main Street) that arrives there at 1235 on Thursday afternoon.
Wishing to travel in a northerly direction, we take the five minute walk to Stafford Street and there board the 1610 Stagecoach Highlands service X99 to Scrabster (Ferry Terminal) that arrives there at 1801 on Thursday afternoon.
Disembarking from the ferry, we take the two minute walk to the bus stop outside the Travel Centre on Ferry Road and board the 2105 Stagecoach Orkney service X1 to St Margarets Hope (the bus stop opposite the Pier on Ferry Road) that arrives there at 2209 on Thursday evening.
It would seem that is the last bus of the day, so we spend the night here before boarding the 08:01 Stagecoach Orkney service X1 to Finstown, at Allan's of Gillock, arriving at 08:50Friday morning.
It looks like we've got plenty of time to do just that anyway, as the next bus is at 14:15, the Stagecoach Orkney service 6 to Kirkwall Travel Centre, arriving at 15:05Friday afternoon.
Wishing to appease @DanTrainMan185, we decide to board the 17:00 Pentalnd Ferries service to Gills Bay Ferry Terminal, arriving at 18:00Friday afternoon (or 18:00 ish, Google seems to think it takes 1h and the website doesn't say).
We take the six minute walk to the bus stop at the end of the ferry terminal road end, where we board the 1810 Stagecoach North Scotland service 80 to John O Groats (Car Park), arriving there at 1819 on Friday evening.
We next board the 2245 Stagecoach Highlands service 82 to Halkirk (the bus stop opposite the Mace store on Sinclair Street) that arrives at 2311 on Thursday evening.
Dreaming of Skye, we now board the 17:35 Scottish CityLink service 917 to Strollamus, opp Slipway (this is just south of Dunan, opposite Skye boat centre), arriving at 20:17Friday evening.
