thanks for this info. One idea I have is to fly to Glasgow, and then start biking up to Inverness to see my family up in that area. Nice to know of it being doable from the airport (although realistically, after a transAtlantic flight, the last thing I want to be doing is to be putting my bike together and riding)
Fair point I have done it both ways in the USA. A night in a hotel first is preferable. The Holiday Inn at Glasgow Airport is 200 yards from the exit from the airport. You could push your trolley there. Failing that any hotel in the city centre is a 15 minute taxi ride. Or if you are Inverness bound it is 10 minutes over the Erskine Bridge to the Dumbarton area. The Travelodge, Dumbarton is literally about 20 steps from the Glasgow - Inverness bike route which runs immediately behind it.
