Bash script remote variable to local script

I'm trying to make a script that uses variables from a remote script. Currently the script executes the remote script with an ssh user@server "/route/to/script.sh" command in the script. In that script I'm saving some variables. I wish to use these variables in my local script where I've began everything.

Any ideas how to do this?

Lots of options possible. One could be:

a=$(ssh user@server "/route/to/script.sh")

While the remote script.sh looks something like this:

#!/bin/bash

hostname

This way, the output of the command hostname (should be the name of the remote host) will end up in the local variable a.
