Travel information :
Travelling by Car
From outside Edinburgh, the easiest way to reach the Alexander Guest House by car is via the "Straiton Junction" on the City Bypass. Leave the bypass at this point and turn first left at the roundabout towards the "City Centre" (A701). Continue until you reach a small roundabout at the end of Liberton Road.
Take the second turning on the left (effectively straight on) into Craigmillar Park Road, and continue up through 2 sets of traffic lights and the House is situated on the right hand side 100m past the traffic lights.
From the North
From the Forth Road Bridge, continue along the A90 towards "Edinburgh", joining onto Queensferry Road just before the Barnton junction. Turn right at this junction onto Maybury Road and continue until it reaches the Maybury junction. Turn right and follow the signs for the "City Bypass" (A720). Once on the bypass, continue round until you see the exit marked "Straiton Junction".
From the West
From the M8 motorway, continue to the end of the motorway to you come to a large roundabout (Hermiston Gait junction). At the roundabout, take the third exit signposted "City Bypass" (A720). Continue until you reach the exit signposted "Straiton Junction".
From the South/East
From the A1, before you reach Edinburgh you will see a junction signposted for "City Bypass" (A720). Take this exit (first left) and follow the A720 northbound. At the first roundabout (Sheriff hall Junction), take the third turning and continue on the A720 until you reach the exit signposted "Straiton Junction".
