By Bus:
The central bus station in Edinburgh (catering for national buses) is St Andrews Bus Station. This is located just off Princes Street, on St Andrew's Square and around 10 minutes walk to Anne House Apartments. From the bus station walk towards Princes Street, and onto Waverley Bridge. See below for further instructions.
Walking from Waverley Bridge:
 |
-
Leave Waverley Bridge heading south away from Princes Street. Walk toward a mini roundabout at the junction of Waverley Bridge, Market Street, and Cockburn Street.
-
Cross over the roundabout and walk up Cockburn Street, this is very steep, and if you are tired, or have lots of luggage you may prefer to take a taxi!
-
At the top of Cockburn Street is the High Street (Royal Mile), cross over this cobbled street, and walk just a few yards uphill.
- All three apartments are easily accessed by foot from the Royal Mile (High Street). There are three 'closes' (small lanes) which conveniently lead to Anne House (Royal Mile and Holyrood Apartments).
