By Plane: the nearest airport is in Edinburgh. From the airport, you can take the Airlink, bus number 100, leaving directly from the exit and get off in Princes street, in the city centre. Walk up to Princes street and turn right, walk along to the next street junction. Turn right on to North bridge and then cross the road to the side away from the castle. Take any one of these bus numbers, 3, 7, 8, 29, 31, 37 or 49 (there are 3 bus stops on North bridge covering all of these buses).Remember, that you need the exact money as the driver has no change! The bus journey time from the city centre is about 12 minutes and you need to get off at the stop opposite the entrance to the Royal Blind school (second stop on Mayfield gardens) - ask the driver to help you with this. Cross the road and go down East Savile road and then down West Savile road to the end. There turn right on to Mayfield road and we are just down on the right hand side. It takes longer to type this than make the journey!
By Car: from whatever direction you are driving to Edinburgh join the city bypass (A720) and head either east or west to about a point due south of the city centre on the bypass: "Straition Junction" (A720/A701). Leave the bypass at this junction and head into the city - north on the A701! Go through 3 sets of traffic lights (ignore pedestrian lights in this count) and at the third set you will have just descended Liberton Brae (hill). Drive forward 5 metres and take the left road - Mayfield Road. We are another 800 metres along this road (through another set of traffic lights) on the right hand side.
By Train: the nearest railway station is Waverley. From the station, you have to reach the North bridge. Take any one of these bus numbers, 3, 7, 8, 29, 31, 37 or 49 (there are 3 bus stops on North bridge covering all of these buses) and then as above. |
