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

Taxis are among the most popular way to get around in Scottish cities. Although they are usually more expensive than buses, taxis offer a faster and more comfortable journey.
