Flying to Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland—history, festivals, and stunning scenery. Edinburgh Airport is the main gateway and one of the busiest in the UK outside London.

If you’re touring Scotland, flying into Edinburgh and out of Glasgow (or vice versa) can work well.
When to fly
Demand peaks in August (Festival), summer, and around Hogmanay. For better value, look at January–March or November. Tuesday and Wednesday are typically cheaper than weekends.
Edinburgh is compact and walkable. If you're combining city and Highlands, EDI is a great base—and often cheaper than flying into London and taking the train up.
