Travel and Accomodation
Driving
Depending on where in Edinburgh you are leaving from, driving to Colstoun takes 40 minutes.
We recommend taking all the A1 to Haddington and then driving through Haddington. Google maps offers you an alternative route and this will take you down slightly more challenging country roads. We have linked the route we suggest above.
Taxi Companies
Some local taxi companies offer mini-buses or large taxis which are very affordable for larger groups.
These includes Johnny's 01620 826 222 or Collins 01620 825 825. These must be booked prior to the event.
Other options include:
JT Taxis - 0131 665 6565
Edinburgh taxi companies:
City Cabs - 0131 228 1211
Capital Cars - 0131 777 7777
Central taxis - 0131 229 2468
We strongly recommend booking your travel in advance
