There are ample car rental agencies at the airport, we suggest Avis on East London Street or Enterprise at Waverley Station if you do not wish to rent from the airport. Hawick and the Scottish Borders are accessible by car or bus: the X95 Borders Buses has services running at least every two hours to Hawick from Edinburgh. If you are not driving and do not want to take the bus, the train from Waverley Station leads to Tweedbank which is nearby Hawick but not a direct service, you will then need a taxi to Hawick.
