The Airlink Bus, number 100, departs every 10 minutes from outside the main terminal building (during the night it runs less often). The journey into Edinburgh city centre will take approx. 30 minutes. Please alight from the bus at its Princes Street stop and head east, walk towards the gothic Scott’s Monument. Turn left onto Hanover Street, and keep walking for about 10 minutes. Hanover Street will turn into Queen Street Gardens East, which in turn will lead to Dundas Street.
