  • Is there a hotel shuttle from the GLA? How close are you to the train station with trains to Oban? Thank you.
    There is a shuttle bus service 500 which is inexpensive. This would bring you to George Square or Buchanan Bus station both are less than 10 mins walk. Trains to Oban are from Queen street directly next to George Square so another less than 10 mins walk although all down hill on the way back! Hope this helps
