Recognised as the capital of Scotland since at least the 15th century, Edinburgh is home to the Scottish Parliament and the seat of the monarchy in Scotland. The city is also the annual venue of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland and home to national institutions such as the National Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery. It is the largest financial centre in the UK after London. The city's historical and cultural attractions have made it Scotland’s most popular tourist destination. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, the churches of St. Giles, Greyfriars and , and the extensive Georgian New Town, built in the 18th century. Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town together are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You can find the location of the visitor car parks on the map of Edinburgh Campus.  Visitors to the University should use car park A, B, H or J.  Disabled visitors can use the accessible car park at Gait 10 next to the Centre for Sport & Exercise.

Edinburgh International Airport is served by scheduled national and international flights. The airport is on the west side of the city, just three miles from the Edinburgh Campus. The bus journey from the airport takes about an hour. The Airlink bus takes you to the city centre (£4.50 single, £7.50 return), then you can take a Lothian Buses service 25, X25, 34, 45 or N25 (night bus) from the city centre to the campus. The taxi journey from the airport to the campus takes about 10 minutes and costs about £25 return.

The mainline rail network serves the centre of Edinburgh well. Edinburgh Waverley is at the east end of Princes Street and Haymarket Station is at the west end. Curriehill Station, one mile from the University, offers a frequent service to Edinburgh Waverley and a service to . We do not recommend alighting at either or Curriehill as there is no direct transport link to the campus from these stations. Proceed to Haymarket and catch a number 25 bus from Dalry Road (terminating at Riccarton). Rail timetables can be found on the National Rail website. There are a broad range of hotels available, to help you out here are a few links I found: Hotels near airport:

Double Tree by Hilton from £118 | Ibis from £41 | Holiday Inn Express from £96

Hotels near Heriot-Watt University: Novotel from £66 | Premier Inn from £83
