THE A-Z OF DIRECTIONS (OR HOW TO FIND THE PUB!!!)
1. FROM THE AIRPORT
Once you have arrived at Edinburgh Airport you can take either the
taxi or
the bus. You can catch either type of bus. The fare is about £3.50.
The
bus will finally travel along Princes Street, and stop on Waverley
Bridge,
just beside the station. Walk back up the road to Princes Street,
turn
right and follow the road until you get to the lights and turn right up
the hill, this is North Bridge.
You can KEEP walking along the road. Just after passing The
Abbey pub (on
South Clerk Street) take a left, and follow the road (East Preston
Street)
to the T-junction, turn right. The pub is on the right hand side of the
road after one block. This walk will take about half an hour!
OR
Catch any bus that goes to 'South Clerk Street' from North Bridge, and
then walk along in the same direction until you reach The Abbey pub and
turn left at the set of traffic lights follow the road (East Preston
Street) to the T-junction. The pub is on the right hand side of the road
after one block, opposite the Commonwealth Pool.

Get a taxi to The Physician and Firkin, which is opposite the
Commonwealth
Pool.
2. FROM THE BUS STATION

the right of the entrance to the St. James Centre) through until you reach

Bridge.

third exit, Dalkeith Road. Follow this road until you reach the
Commonwealth Pool.
The Physician & Firkin pub is opposite, parking is available in the pub
car park, and the bar will be open.
M6/M74 ROUTE
Follow the M6 until it becomes the M74/A74. Keep on this road until you
get to Junction 13 (of the M74) which is at Abington. Follow the signs for
the A702. Remember to take the A702 when it forks right shortly after
joining the A702, or you'll drive straight onto the A73. The A702 is the
usual route to Edinburgh and passes through Biggar. After about 40 miles
you will pass the Hillend Artificial Ski Slopes. You want to take the City
By-pass to the East, A720, to do this, drive over it and then come back

reach the Commonwealth Pool. The Physician & Firkin pub is opposite,
parking is available in the pub car park, and the bar will still be open.
OTHER ROUTES
Whatever other route you come to Edinburgh it is easy to meet the A720,
the Edinburgh By-pass. If you don't know of an easier way, follow this
until you reach the A701. The instructions after this are given above.
see you friday
