Coming by Plane:
Either get a taxi or use the airport bus. The bus is a limited stop one and you will have to get off the bus just past Drumbrae (almost opposite PC World and Mcdonalds. Cross the road at the pedestrian crossing and walk down Meadow Place Road. At the next set of traffic lights (Tesco and Police Station) turn left. Walk along and take the second right, Ladywell Avenue, and the next road on the left is Dovecot Road. My home is the second last one on the left hand side, next door to the Dovecot.
Coming from the airport by car, come out of the airport and take the A8 to the left (Edinburgh). Keep in the right hand lane and go under the road at Gogar.

From Waverly Station (train):
Come out of the station following the signs for Princes Street/Tourist Information Office. There is a bus stop directly outside the Tourist Office . However if you are not too heavily laden I would advise to walk west (towards the Scott monument) to the next bus stop where there is a choice of 3 buses. The bus stops all have the bus numbers on them. If you decide to get a bus outside the Tourist Office the number to get is the 31. Please have the right change as the driver will not give change. If you walk to the next bus stop along Princes Street you can get any of the following 3 buses-12, 26 or 31. They are all very frequent so you should not have long to wait. They all follow the same route and cost the same. You get off the bus at Kirk Loan which is next to Blockbuster Video shop, a much better land mark. Ask anybody on the bus for Blockbuster in Corstorphine. When you get off the bus walk down Kirk Loan to the bottom. At the T junction turn left and Dovecot Road is the second street on the right. 2a is the second house on the right hand side.
