GETTING HERE
BY CAR - Melville Castle is around 30minutes from Edinburgh City Centre & Edinburgh Airport, where you can easily rent a car or order a taxi or Uber. Older SatNavs may direct you to Melville Castle Golf Course - this is not the correct entrance(!) Please make sure you come in from Dalkeith / Eskbank, the drive is about a mile long through our woodland.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT - The closest train station is Eskbank (a 5-minute drive away) The train takes about 20 minutes to Edinburgh and runs twice an hour. There is no taxi rank at Eskbank so you'll need to pre-arrange a taxi to pick you up for the final leg of your journey to the castle.
Alternatively, you can catch the 20 bus from the top of our drive. It runs every 15-30 minutes and takes approx 45 minutes to get to Edinburgh city centre. To return, catch the bus from the shops side of Princes street.
