Comment	I've done a lot of hiking via public transport so here's my recommendations : Bus to arrochar and hike up Ben Ime, Ben Narnian and the Cobbler. The first two are Munroes and the Cobbler falls just short so it's a decent bit if climbing. You can do either all 3, only 1 or any combination. Bus to loch sloy - you can hike up Ben Vane ( the smallest Munro but don't underestimate it still very though) and Ben Vorlich ( another Munro) Bus to rest and be thankful - no munros up here but a few decent hills that get close - personal favourites are Ben Donich ans Ben A'an Lochain. Bus to inveranan - hike up a Munro Ben Chabier and then get food/ drink at Drovers Inn Train to Pitlochry - walk up from the station and climb up Ben Vrakie - great wee hill with loads of great terriain Train to falls of Cruchaun ( only runs in the summertime) - hike up Ben Cruchaun ( a Munroe ) Bus or train to Crianlarich - quite often on a citylink bus the driver will drop you of where you want to go as long as it's safe to stop so you could ask for this or if not just add a bit longer to the hike. There are 2 pairs of munros that are doable first An Castiel and Ben a Croin ( some people also do Ben Chabier here but I personally wouldn't reccomend) . And then Ben More ( very steep so you have to be reasonably fit to do this one ) and Stob Dimah. Train to Corrour - do the only 2 Munroes that are only accessible be train and doable in a day trip from Glasgow Train to Balloch and then Bus to Balmaha - nice wee walk up very small hill conic hill Bus to bridge of Orchy - a few Munroes here including a fairly easy pair Ben Dorian and I can't remember the name of the second one but it'll be on walk Highlands if you take a look If you're looking to go a bit further afield and maybe stay a night or just don't mind a long day There is a citylink bus to Glencoe (right to the ski centre I'm pretty sure) and there are of course plenty of hills to be done from there Additionally you can get either the train or the bus to aveiemore from Glasgow and then a local bus to the ski centre and do some hiking in the Cairngorms - it's fairly easy to climb Ben Macdui (Scotland's second highest hill).

Bus to loch sloy - you can hike up Ben Vane ( the smallest Munro but don't underestimate it still very though) and Ben Vorlich ( another Munro)

Bus to rest and be thankful - no munros up here but a few decent hills that get close - personal favourites are Ben Donich ans Ben A'an Lochain.

Bus to inveranan - hike up a Munro Ben Chabier and then get food/ drink at Drovers Inn

Train to Pitlochry - walk up from the station and climb up Ben Vrakie - great wee hill with loads of great terriain

Train to falls of Cruchaun ( only runs in the summertime) - hike up Ben Cruchaun ( a Munroe )

Bus or train to Crianlarich - quite often on a citylink bus the driver will drop you of where you want to go as long as it's safe to stop so you could ask for this or if not just add a bit longer to the hike. There are 2 pairs of munros that are doable first An Castiel and Ben a Croin ( some people also do Ben Chabier here but I personally wouldn't reccomend) .

Train to Balloch and then Bus to Balmaha - nice wee walk up very small hill conic hill

Bus to bridge of Orchy - a few Munroes here including a fairly easy pair Ben Dorian and I can't remember the name of the second one but it'll be on walk Highlands if you take a look

If you're looking to go a bit further afield and maybe stay a night or just don't mind a long day

There is a citylink bus to Glencoe (right to the ski centre I'm pretty sure) and there are of course plenty of hills to be done from there

Additionally you can get either the train or the bus to aveiemore from Glasgow and then a local bus to the ski centre and do some hiking in the Cairngorms - it's fairly easy to climb Ben Macdui (Scotland's second highest hill).
