Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

Edinburgh Airport: Scotland’s Number One Airport

Despite its small size and single terminal, Edinburgh Airport is one of the busiest in Scotland. Its convenient location near the city centre and excellent transport links make it a top choice for travellers to the area.

The airport was built on the site of Turnhouse Aerodrome, which served as an important Royal Airforce Base during WWI and WWII. Shortly after the wars had ended, the base was upgraded for commercial use and flew its first flight between Edinburgh and London.

Edinburgh Airport has won awards, on numerous occasions, for being one of the best airports in Europe. It is continuously being expanded and modernised, showing a promising future.

Check Out Edinburgh Airport Shops While You Wait

If you’re in for a short stop, you’ll be pleased to find plenty of popular English and Scottish retailers within the airport itself. There are several shops that specialise in authentic Scottish merchandise, perfect for a last-minute souvenir.

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Just a few miles away, the Gyle Shopping Centre offers a larger selection of stores. It’s relatively easy to get to via tram directly from the airport, and worth a visit if you have extra time.

Things to do Near Edinburgh Airport

The Royal Highland Showgrounds are right next to the airport itself and host a number of different events from concerts to exhibitions to horse racing. Make sure to check their calendar before you come. In June, this is where everyone comes to see the Royal Highland Show, which is a great way to experience the charming local rural lifestyle.

RZSS Edinburgh Zoo is another popular tourist attraction, located halfway to the city centre. The Airlink airport bus makes a stop there, so you don’t need to rent a car. This zoo is well known for its pandas and koalas, and offers safari rides as well.

If you do have a car, take a drive up to Cramond Beach. Just 15 minutes away, the village is a pleasant spot to unwind. During low tide, you can walk down a narrow sandy walkway to Cramond Island, where you will find the remains of old WWII-era fortifications.
