The X99 is an express bus service operated by Stagecoach Highlands.It is the fastest public transport connection between Inverness and Caithness. [1] The route runs from Inverness to Thurso via Wick, Helmsdale, Brora, Golspie, and Dornoch, with at least one service per day extending to Scrabster to meet the ferry to Stromness.
