Excellent Touring Arrangements for the Highland Country are Available this Summer. °TOR-COACH fares in the Glasffj_gow area show little variation this season compared with last year, and the public has available an extremely wide variety of tours, ranging from half-day and evening trips to extended tours of 12 and 14 days' duration.
Thomson's Tours and World Travel. Bureau, which has extensive and well. appointed central offices at 263, Hope Street, and 50-56, New City Road, Glasgow, has arranged a particularly enterprising list of tours for the 1931 season, the rates for which may be accepted as fairly general for the district. One exceptionally popular tour is that of the Four Lochs, which, at a fare of 12s., includes lunch and a delightful trip through some of Scotland's finest country, together with a motorlaunch trip through the Straits of Loss.
A few of the other tours worked by this organization are as follow:—
In addition, the Thomson concern does considerable extended-touring busi ness, and each spring and summer carries large numbers of holidaymakers to every part of the United Kingdom..

Road-travel connections between Glasgow and the South are being improved. With the opening of the holiday season Majestic Saloon Coaches (Newcastle and London), Ltd., of Newcastle, has extended its London-New
castle route to Edinburgh and Glasgow, two through journeys being provided daily. It is probable that this will be increased to three in the summer months. To cope with the route extension the company has placed orders for a number of A.E.C. Regal machines With specially appointed longdistance-travel bodies. These are calculated to afford a higher degree of comfort than many passengers have hitherto been accustomed to, and in this way it is hoped still further to increase the public taste for road travel as a holiday pleasure.
