The Floral Clock: A Timeless Attraction in Edinburgh

Getting There

• Car

  If you are traveling by car, start from any location in Midlothian and head towards Edinburgh. You can use the A701 or A68 routes to reach the city center. Once you arrive in Edinburgh, follow signs for the city center, and then navigate towards Princes Street. There are several parking options available nearby, including NCP car parks and on-street parking, but be aware that parking fees may apply, typically ranging from £2 to £4 per hour.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For those using public transport, you can take one of the Lothian Buses that operate from various points in Midlothian to Edinburgh city center. Look for buses that go towards Princes Street or Edinburgh Waverley Station. Once you arrive at Princes Street, the Floral Clock is located at the west end of the street, just a short walk from the bus stop. Bus fares typically range from £1.70 to £2.50 depending on the distance traveled.

• Public Transportation (Train)

  Alternatively, you can take a train from a station in Midlothian, such as Eskbank or Gorebridge, to Edinburgh Waverley station. Trains run frequently, and the journey takes about 15-20 minutes. Once you arrive at Waverley Station, exit the station and head towards Princes Street. The Floral Clock is a pleasant 10-minute walk from the station, where you will find it situated along the gardens. Train tickets usually cost between £5 and £10 for a single journey.
