Travel Note
Every U.S. traveler, including children, visiting the U.K. or in transit elsewhere will be required to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) starting Jan. 8, 2025. It costs £16 (approximately $22) per person and will be valid for two years. The easiest way to apply is via the app but you can also apply online (use link below) and the approval process takes up to three days.
Travel Note
You can fly into either Edinburgh (EDI) or Glasgow (GLA). The Edinburgh Airport is about 30 minutes from downtown Edinburgh while the Glasgow Airport is a little over one hour away. When booking your travel, we recommend checking flights to both airports as one may provide more affordable flights or more direct flight availability than the other.
Travel Note
If you are flying into Edinburgh Airport (EDI) there are a number of ways to travel to the city center. Both Uber and taxis are available and easy to use. There are also several bus lines that will take you from the airport to the city center (Waverly Bridge stop). If you are flying into Glasgow (GLA) you also have a couple of options. You can take an Uber, taxi, or arrange for private transport. For a more affordable option, there is a ScotRail train that runs from Glasgow Central to Edinburgh (Waverly).
Travel Note
Edinburgh is an incredibly walkable city. No rental car is needed, and you can get almost anywhere on foot! Uber and taxis are also available.

Our venue has partnered with a number of hotels in the area to provide discounted rates for our wedding guests and we have listed these hotels below.
