Rapsons Coaches covered the Highlands and Orkney. Rapsons also covered Shetland till 2004 and also took over the bus opeartor in Shetland and Orkney, Shalder Coaches. Orkney Coaches had a logo saying 'Orkney' with many of their services opearting around the Orkney Islands. However, the takeover happened in May 2008 and was finally complete in 2009. Some of the Rapson colours and logo are still on some of the fleet but have the Stagecoach logo at the front and the 'Rapson' logo on the side and both the Rapsons and Stagecoach logo on the rear. In April 2011 the operations at Inverness & Easter Ross were transferred to the Highland Country operating license from the Bluebird Buses license.
