Getting here

By air

Edinburgh Airport is ca. 8 miles away. A taxi from Edinburgh Airport to the venue should cost ca. £25. There is a bus from the airport to Waverley Bridge ("Airlink"), which costs £7 (adult open return); from there, see below for directions from Waverley (the station).

By rail

Edinburgh Station (usually known as Waverley) is about two miles from Pollock Halls. From Waverley a taxi will take 5-10 mins and should cost ca. £7. For a bus from Waverley you should exit the station on to Princes Street and turn right. Cross to the other side of North Bridge and turn right on to the bridge. From the first bus stop, take a number 14, 30 or 33 to the Commonwealth Pool stop (the pool is presently boarded up and being refurbished). The adult single fare is £1.50 (you need to provide the exact money). Turn back along the way you have come and turn right on to Holyrood Park Road and you will see Pollock Halls on your right. This is likely to take about half an hour.
