Take the first exit onto East Market Street. Continue along this road as it becomes Jeffrey Street. At the end of Jeffrey Street, turn right onto High Street (Royal Mile). Continue walking along the Royal Mile until you reach St Giles' Cathedral. From there, take a left onto Advocate's Close, and The News Steps will be located at 9 Advocate's Close, just a short walk down the alley.

• Bus

  Find the nearest bus stop and catch a bus that goes to the Royal Mile area. Look for service numbers 3, 5, 7, 8, 14, or 35. Disembark at the stop on the Royal Mile (High Street). From the bus stop, walk towards St Giles' Cathedral, then turn left onto Advocate's Close. The News Steps will be located a short distance down Advocate's Close at 9 Advocate's Close.

• Tram

  If you are near the tram line, board a tram towards York Place and disembark at the St Andrew Square stop. From St Andrew Square, head towards the east, following the signs for the Royal Mile. Walk down South St David Street until you reach the Royal Mile. Turn left onto the Royal Mile and walk until you reach St Giles' Cathedral. Then, take a left onto Advocate's Close, and The News Steps will be at 9 Advocate's Close.
