Directions, Transport and Travel To and From Edinburgh University
(Edinburgh, Scotland)
The University of Edinburgh is accessible by road or air. The main roads to take when reaching the university are the A8, M1, M6, A74, and the A702. These roads connect the city to Glasgow, London, and other major UK cities. Roads in Edinburgh are well signposted, which makes reaching the university very easy.
Those travelling by car can reach the University via the City Bypass A720. From there, you can enter the A701 highway, which will take you to the SciEng Faculty Office where it turns into Mayfield Road. Four entrance gates can be found in this area - two on Mayfield and two on West Mains Road. Drive straight ahead from one of these gates through Causewayside to reach the University's central area.
Edinburgh University is easily accessible by car, train, bus, coach, or cab. Since it is located at the heart of the city, it is minutes away from all terminals and stations. You will find that the campus is within walking distance from all city facilities, but if you prefer faster and more convenient travel, you have a lot of options as well.
