Flights

Best itinerary would have you fly into Edinburgh and out of Glasgow. We will be happy to explore flight options for you. Currently, prices are not in the "pull the trigger" range.

Both Delta & Continental fly this route.

Ground Transportation

I am presenting this itinerary assuming you may want to use a driver for ground transfers. The way this sets up--it might be cost effective to go this route while at the same time save you the car rental hassles and the city driving in Edinburgh. I will price the itinerary with driver and as a self drive with rental car.
