Access to the west coast's main transport hub is acceptable if the roads are not busy but, as anyone who has tried to catch a flight from there knows, that is a big if.
Inclement weather, repair work, accidents and rush hour traffic can quickly gum up the surrounding area, leaving travellers – whether they are in buses, taxis or private cars – sweating over whether they can get on the right plane. The issue is coming into sharper focus in the run-up to 2014, when Scotland may have more visitors than ever before due to the Commonwealth Games and Ryder Cup.
