Transportation in Scotland
Traveling from Edinburgh Airport to Your Destination
As Edinburgh is well-connected to the rest of the country and boasts a well-developed public transport network, you can easily get around the country. If you are planning a trip to Edinburgh, you can use Lothian Buses or Edinburgh Trams to travel from the airport to the city center. Taxis and rental cars are also available for passengers at affordable rates. Those traveling to other parts of Scotland, on the other hand, may check First Group buses or train routes.
Public Transport
Buses
After trains, buses and coaches are the second most popular form of transportation in Scotland. The reason behind this popularity is the relatively more affordable ticket prices and flexible travel options. Currently, three main types of bus services in Scotland: local buses, intercity buses, and coaches. Although the latter two share a lot in common, there are small differences. Thankfully, most Scottish cities have great local bus services, allowing you to visit the main attractions for cheap prices. These buses are often operated by local municipalities and private companies. Despite getting around the city, these buses also help explore the city. For example, Airlink 100, 200, and 400 buses in Edinburgh connect the airport and various spots in the city. In Glasgow, on the other hand, there is 500 Glasgow Airport Express, taking visitors from the airport to the city center. You can check the local bus company's website before your arrival to see which bus routes they offer. Besides, intercity bus and coach services provide budget-friendly travel from one city to another. So, you can discover the Highlands' exquisite spots effortlessly. The main difference between intercity buses and coaches is the luxury. Intercity buses are often more budget-friendly and operate between cities in closer proximity. Coaches, however, usually travel long distances and offer a more luxurious service. Various coach tour companies also provide visitors with scenic bus routes, allowing them to explore the country through a more slow-paced journey.
Trams
Although Scotland has a rich history of trams, with most Scottish cities successfully using tram lines throughout history, today, there's only one active tram system in Scotland: Edinburgh Trams. The tram system in the Scottish capital is well-connected and brings various parts of the city together. Opened in 2014, Edinburgh Trams has 24 lines in total, starting from the airport and going through the West End and onwards to Newhaven.
Trains
The train lines of Scotland are known for their scenic routes through the vast countryside. So, you can take Scotland train tours to explore the country's different parts and have an unforgettable experience. Some of the most scenic rail journeys in Scotland use the West Highland Railway Line. This line runs from Glasgow north to Crianlarich and is known as one of the world's most spectacular routes. During the journey, you'll have the opportunity to see the famous attractions, including Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor, and Glencoe. Alternatively, you can try the Kyle of Lochalsh line, running from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh. The route is offered by ScotRail and has 13 stations in total. If you want to go on a scenic train journey and explore Scotland's rich past at the same time, Borders Railway might also be the ideal route. The railway follows Scotland's historic borders and connects Edinburgh with Galashiels and Tweedbank. There are 9 stations in the route along a 35-mile line. Of course, there are many other notable lines in Scotland that might provide you with picturesque views. You can visit the official website of ScotRail to find out about other routes.
Taxis

Accommodation in Scotland

Accommodations for Basking in the Scottish Culture
As mentioned, the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, is a great destination for visitors wanting to bask in the unique Scottish culture. If you are looking to explore the country's heritage, Glasgow's city center, where you can find historic structures, museums, and galleries, might be the ideal spot. Alternatively, you can discover the contemporary and artistic side of Edinburgh by staying around the New Town area. The biggest advantage of staying in this part of the city is that it houses relatively more affordable accommodations than the center.
Ideal Accommodation for Shoppers
When it comes to shopping and indulging, both Edinburgh and Glasgow are great options. Nevertheless, Glasgow, being the country's most populous and developed city, is a great selection for a more urban experience. Especially the Merchant City area, where most retail shops and businesses are located, offers an extraordinary stay for those seeking a unique shopping experience. However, if you're a tranquility seeker who wants to explore Glasgow, the city also boasts areas where you can stay in tranquility without giving up on your destination. All you have to do is to seek accommodation around the West End part of Glasgow, known for its more leisurely culture and rustic atmosphere.
Perfect Accommodation for a Nature Getaway
The Scottish Highlands, especially Inverness, might be the perfect place for a nature getaway. This unique city is known for its magnificent scenery and tranquil lifestyle. And the best part about accommodation in Inverness is its rich options for every budget. If you want to immerse yourself in the true Scottish culture and hospitality, B&B, bed and breakfast, establishments might be ideal. Those seeking peace within the verdant Highlands might pick such an accommodation near the Banks of the River Ness, a popular attraction in Inverness. Alternatively, hotels around the city center are perfect for visitors seeking an ideal destination for shopping and looking for souvenirs.
Cuisine
Its rich cuisine makes Scotland a wonderful spot for gastronomy lovers. The country boasts a meat and fish-based cuisine with delicious dishes like haggis, Aberdeen Angus Beef, or smoked salmon. Nevertheless, local Scottish restaurants have vegan food options as well. Additionally, in most Scottish cities, you can find restaurants that serve international cuisines.
