Directions from the west

The best idea would be to follow the M8 from Glasgow until it joins the Edinburgh City Bypass. At the roundabout follow signs for A720 City Bypass Edinburgh South and East and follow this in an anticlockwise direction until you reach the Sherriffhall Roundabout, which is approx. 5 miles further on.

At this roundabout take the 1st exit signposted A7 North/ City Centre. Follow this road straight into the city, past a BMW garage on the right and the new Royal Infirmary on the right. After approx. 4 miles you will arrive at Cameron Toll Roundabout. Go straight on here (2nd Exit), this road is called Dalkeith Road, and should be followed again straight on through all sets of traffic lights. The road will turn into St Leonards Street after you pass the Royal Commonwealth Pool and then into The Pleasance. At this point, the road will go steeply downhill with a crossroads at the bottom with traffic lights. Turn right here onto Holyrood Road - we are at the bottom of this road on the left hand side.

Directions from the East

Follow the A1 towards Edinburgh. Take the turn off signposted A720 City Bypass and follow signs at the roundabout for Edinburgh West and North (1st Exit). Follow this along to Sherriffhall Roundabout, where you will follow signs for A7 North/City Centre. This will be your 4th Exit. Then follow directions as above.

Directions from the North

Head for the Forth Road bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the motorway on about 5 miles into the City Centre until you get to the Barnton Junction. Here follow signs for the A720 City Bypass and Maybury Junction, turning right. Follow this dual carriageway straight on, straight through the next roundabout and down to the Maybury Junction. Turn right here, following signs for the Bypass. At the Gogar Roundabout, take the 2nd exit - the beginning of the City Bypass. Follow on to the Sherriffhall Roundabout, and follow the directions as above.

Directions from the South

Follow the signs for Edinburgh then as above.
