We are hiking the West Highland Way in June ending in Ft William. We would like to hire a private driver to take 4 of us straight from Ft William to Glasgow airport the next morning. Any suggestions/ companies who could arrange a driver? It looks to be about 100 miles/2hr drive. Thanks
Hi, Liz,
You may want to try Greyhound Taxis www.greyhound-taxis.co.uk They offer service from Fort William to GLA. They can also be reached at 011 44 1397 705050..
It would be a small (well, large...) miracle if you could find someone to get from Fort William to Glasgow Airport in two hours. Jim Clark and Stirling Moss are dead, and Jackie Stewart is 85, so I don't think that he'd be up to it! :)
You may also want to consider just taking the train. Train time is just under four hours, and you can pick up the bus to the airport near Queen Street Station. It may be considerably cheaper in the long run.
Enjoy your hike! Don't forget the midge repellent.
Best wishes, and safe travels.

There are also direct City link buses from Fort William to the airport at 1110 and 1410 daily. They take just under 3 hours
