Edinburgh supports two Scottish Premiership football clubs with strong supporter followings and two major stadium venues within the city. Heart of Midlothian FC (Hearts) plays at Tynecastle Park in the Gorgie area, with a capacity of around 20,000. Hibernian FC plays at Easter Road in the Leith area, with a capacity of around 21,000. Edinburgh is also home to Murrayfield Stadium (capacity 67,500), the national rugby stadium of Scotland, which hosts Six Nations matches, Scottish Rugby Union finals, and occasional large concerts. Scotland's national football team plays home international matches at Hampden Park in Glasgow, about 90 minutes west by coach.
For supporters groups, away day trips, or team transport to and from these venues, a hired coach keeps the group together, removes parking difficulties (both Tynecastle and Easter Road have limited adjacent parking), and gives a fixed departure time after the final whistle.
Tynecastle Park is in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh, west of the city centre, accessible by coach via the Dalry Road and the McLeod Street approach. The stadium has very limited adjacent street parking; coach drop-off is typically on the Gorgie Road with a waiting position agreed nearby. Easter Road is in Leith, north-east of the city centre, accessible via the Easter Road itself or the London Road approach; there is a designated coach set-down area on the Albion Road side of the stadium. Both grounds have the typical post-match pedestrian congestion of city-centre football venues; we allow 15 to 20 minutes for departure from the immediate area after the final whistle.
Murrayfield Stadium is in the west of Edinburgh on the Roseburn Street, approximately 3 kilometres from the city centre. Coach access is via the Corstorphine Road (A8) and the Roseburn Street approach. There is a dedicated coach set-down and pickup zone for major fixtures (Six Nations, BT Murrayfield events). On Six Nations match days Edinburgh city centre is very busy from midday; we recommend departing from the hotel at least two hours before kick-off to allow for city-centre traffic. Post-match traffic from Murrayfield disperses over approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
For away day trips from Edinburgh, the most common routes are to Glasgow (Ibrox or Celtic Park, about 75 minutes by coach via the M8), Dundee (Dens Park or Tannadice, about 90 minutes via the M90), and Aberdeen (Pittodrie, about two and a half hours via the A90). Scotland national team fixtures at Hampden Park in Glasgow are a popular Edinburgh group booking, particularly for Six Nations weekend trips when the two sports overlap. We provide full outbound and return services for all of these routes.
As a guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) for a Edinburgh sports transfer costs around 200 to 380 GBP per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 340 to 620 GBP per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 520 to 960 GBP per day. Tynecastle, Easter Road, and Murrayfield runs within Edinburgh are at the lower range. Away day trips to Glasgow, Dundee, or Aberdeen with motorway mileage are at the higher end. The final figure depends on distance, hours, and any waiting requirements at the venue. We confirm a fixed price before you book -- send your details for a free quote.
