EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

The Edinburgh airport is not a huge one but it has some direct flights to the US. From the airport there is a very convenient bus service to the city center, the Airlink 100, that runs every half an hour.

Public transportation via the Lothian Bus system is very efficient and extended, and free for students.
