Location

Here’s some useful travel information for people staying at our campsite and wanting to get into Edinburgh city centre (or to the main “festival / city centre” area) – distance, transport options, approximate costs and durations. It’s a handy summary you could even include on an information page for guests.

Location & Distance

Edinburgh Festival Glamping is located about 4 miles south-west of central Edinburgh.
By taxi or car, reaching central Edinburgh typically takes around 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions.

Public Transport: Bus

The school is served by several buses. Notably, Lothian Buses routes including bus 10 stop near the school.
From Edinburgh Festival Glamping to central areas such as Princes Street (in Edinburgh city centre), bus 10 offers a direct connection. The journey takes about 15 minutes and costs around £2 (single fare).

This makes the bus a reliable and affordable choice – ideal if you want to avoid the hassle or cost of taxis or rideshares.

Taxi / Uber or Private Car

For a taxi or rideshare from Edinburgh Festival Glamping to the city centre (4–5 miles depending on destination), typical fares are in the range of £17–£21.

Using a taxi or Uber can make sense late at night, when buses are less frequent, or if you’re carrying luggage.

What It Means for Festival / Guest Stays

Public transport via bus 10 is cheap, simple, and direct – great for day trips into town, shows, sightseeing, or festival venues.
Taxi / Uber offers convenience and speed – good for groups, late nights, or returning from venues after hours.
Guests staying at Edinburgh Festival Glamping benefit from being close enough to the city centre for an easy ride – yet far enough to enjoy a quieter, more relaxed environment.
