Stuart House

~TAXIS & BUSES~

TAXIS are readily available and cost approximately £3 to bring you from the Railway Station at the city centre and about £16 from the AIRPORT to Stuart House.

Airport taxis and City taxis are different. Airport taxis are usually white and larger private cars which only operate outwards from the airport. City taxis are Black Cabs and will pick up at the station or in the street. Charges can vary slightly depending upon the number of passengers in the party and whether the taxi has been reserved or simply hailed in the street, but the journey defines the main charge. There is a meter beside the driver that can be viewed. Tipping is optional and is usually given if the taxi driver has been helpful. For more information check EdinburghTaxis

Blue airport buses provide an alternative means of travel every 10 minutes between the Airport and the Waverley Station in Princes Street. The price is presently £3.30.

BUSES are frequent and reasonably priced. Local buses from near Stuart House are the Lothian Region Transport maroon buses, No. 8 to the High Street, Old Town and South Side and No. 17 which travels along Princes Street past the train station to the West End.

Exact money is required as change is not given.
