Transport and Accommodation

Please find here all our information on how you can get to Edinburgh & Dundas and where to stay.

As a reminder, our wedding is on Saturday the 1st of August and will be from 2pm until midnight.

  • TRAIN:
    There are regular trains running from Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley station, which is in the city centre - they take roughly 4 hours 15 minutes.

    SLEEPER TRAIN:
    You can also get the Caledonian Sleeper overnight - it leaves London Euston at 22.30 in the evening, arriving in Edinburgh Waverley at 8am the following morning.

    PLANE:
    Edinburgh airport is 30 minutes away from the city centre and 15 minutes away from Dundas castle by taxi. There are regular flights running from London airports.

  • FROM CENTRAL EDINBURGH
    If you're coming from Central Edinburgh, there are the following options -

    • TRAIN/TAXI (45 mins): There are direct trains from Edinburgh Waverley station to Dalmeny, which take 16 minutes. You can then get a 15-min taxi from there to Dundas.

    • BUS (1hr 20): Lothian Buses run regular services from the city centre, please put your start point into their journey planner for up-to-date times. There is a bus stop called ‘Dundas Castle’ which is a 16-minute walk away from the venue.

    • TAXI/UBER (45 mins): Dundas castle is roughly a 45-minute drive from the centre of Edinburgh.

    FROM EDINBURGH AIRPORT

    • TAXI (15 minutes): Edinburgh airport is 15 minutes away from Dundas by taxi.

  • ON-SITE (Saturday night only):

    We’ve booked out the rooms in Dundas castle and the surrounding estate cottages for the Saturday night only, at £165 per room. Each room sleeps 2 people.

    Please kindly let either of us know if you’d like to stay on-site for the Saturday as soon as is convenient, as we’ll allocate the rooms on a first-come basis.

    NEARBY:

    The Dakota hotel in South Queensferry is also a ten-minute taxi away from Dundas.

    CENTRAL EDINBURGH:

    Wherever you want! Edinburgh has lots of Airbnbs, hotels and B&Bs to choose from. Hopefully hard to go wrong, but do let either of us know if you get stuck.

  • Guests should enter by the main gates of the estate leading from the B800 which runs between South Queensferry and Kirkliston.

    Please be advised that the Dundas Castle postcode is not recognised on any GPS navigation systems, but by entering EH30 9SS you will be directed to the B800 where you will see the sign for the front entrance to Dundas Castle.

  • If you are coming from central Edinburgh, there are lots of Ubers so that shouldn’t be a problem.

    However it can sometimes be hard to find Ubers further out - so if you are starting from Edinburgh Airport or Dalmeny we would advise calling a local taxi company.
