Frequently Asked
Questions and |

| Where
can I park my car nearby? Glenfinlas Street There is short term parking at the door of the house, but tickets can only be bought for up to two hours. You buy a ticket from a machine and display it in the car. If you wish to leave a car for longer there is secure 24 hour car parking about ten minutes walk away. Lothian Road There is secure 24 hour parking in Semple Street behind the apartment, on Castle Terrace and at the EICC. If possible, please don't bring a car to Edinburgh. All of the main attractions are easily reached from Glenfinlas Street and from Lothian Road, the public transport system is very good, and taxis are easily available. There are maps on this website to help you. |

far is away is the rail station? Glenfinlas Street / Lothian Road The main railway station is Waverley and it is approximately 1.2 km away from both apartments. Waverley is at the east of Princes Street and the apartments are both at the west end of the street. A taxi would take less than ten minutes and cost 6-8 GBP. |
||
| What
happens during the Edinburgh Festival? What doesn't happen! The festival started as an artistic festival with opera, classical music and art exhibitions. Now, the Edinburgh Festival includes the Book Festival, the Fringe with alternative comedy and music, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the Film Festival. For the month of August, Edinburgh is the centre of the arts in the UK. Links to all of the festivals are given below. |
||
| How
far is the castle? The castle is 10 minutes walk from both apartments. The castle overlooks the main shopping street, Princes Street. |
||
| What
is the best way to see the city? There are lots of bus tours around the city, and most of them allow you to get on and off as often as you wish. The best tactic is to take the full tour and understand the layout of the city, then spend some time visiting the main sites, once you know where they are. The city is quite hilly, so use the bus to take you to the castle, then walk downhill on the Royal Mile! |
||
| Is
the city safe? The centre of Edinburgh is still residential, so there are always people around and there is very little crime in the city centre. We wouldn't stay here if that wasn't the case. |
||
|
Can we tour Scotland
from Edinburgh? |
||
| Is
there much golf nearby? All of the most famous scottish golf courses are less that 2 hours drive away and many are less than 1 hour from Edinburgh. They include the courses at Muirfield, Dalmahoy, Gleneagles, St Andrews, Carnoustie, Troon and Turnberry. There are over 60 golf courses in the Lothians alone.
