If you have a small plane of your own, you can pop in to Cumbernauld airport, just three miles from Kilsyth. (photos right)

To get to Kilsyth from Glasgow airport take the airport bus to Glasgow Buchanan St bus station (much cheaper than taxi, and takes only 20 minutes) From Buchanan Street bus station: Take the Falkirk Bus (no 27) - hourly service at approx 15 minutes past the hour or the Stirling Bus (no 24) at 45 minutes past each hour. The bus will take about 40 minutes to get to Kilsyth. Total travel time: - allow around 75 minutes.
