How to get here

By air

The closest large airport is Edinburgh. A shuttle bus is available from the airport to both Haymarket and Waverley railway stations in the centre of Edinburgh. From either station, take a train (with final destination Aberdeen or Dundee) to Leuchars. From Leuchars, take a taxi or a 94/96/99 bus to St Andrews (buses run approximately every 15 minutes on weekdays). A taxi fare to St Andrews should cost roughly 8-10 pounds, and bus timetables are posted at the bus stop just outside the station, or can be found at the Stagecoach website. Alternatively, Stagecoach runs express coaches between Edinburgh and St. Andrews every half hour departing from the St. Andrews Square bus station (near Waverley rail station).
