Marge, you say there “used” to be a ferry. This actually does have me confused because it is still listed on their website, yet other places on the web say it is no longer in service. Are they just inept at updating their website or does it exist still?
I am currently thinking that a ferry from near Amsterdam to Newcastle, then a train from Newcastle to Glasgow might be the best way. If my friend and another person come, it would cost about 90 each because we could split the costs (i.e. you pay for the room, not per ticket). Anyone with experience taking the ferries know if that is correct or could I buy a single ticket if my friends do not go?
