An alternative to staying directly in Edinburgh is to stay within a short train journey from Edinburgh Waverley station, such as in Musselburgh, Dunbar, Dalmeny, North Berwick or Linlithgow. In some cases, the journey time is shorter than bus travel within Edinburgh. From Waverley train station, the walk to the venue is about 15 minutes, partially uphill.
