Tips and advice for travelling in Edinburgh
1. The emergency number of the UK is 999.
2. It is safest to call a taxi by phone. In some cases, you might be lucky to wave one
but that does not always work. Taxi telephone numbers are, for example, 0044
131 229 2468 and 0044 131 272 8000.
3. From the airport, the airlink bus service is relatively fast, and quite cheap. It drops
downtown next to the Waverley Railway Station, and leaves frequently.
4. If you are at a bus stop waiting for a bus, it can be necessary to wave to the
approaching but to make it realize you are interested in boarding it. Bus numbers
14, 30, 33 and 48 stop closest to Pollock Halls. Bus maps for the city centre and
outside the city are provided below.
5. There is a map with the most important places, the Pollock Halls, train station,
Royal Mile and the Airlink stop, are marked. A more detailed Airlink map
provided as well.
6. Lastly www.visitscotland.com is a great homepage for tourist attractions.
