The Highland Fling - Web Standards in Scotland

Information for attendees

Here's what you need to know if you're coming along on the day.

Where am I going?

The venue is Central Hall, 2 W Tollcross, Edinburgh EH3 9BP UK.

It's just off Tollcross junction at the top of Lothian Road and is the big arched entrance. (Google Maps link, Google Street View link)

Head all the way up the stairs and the auditorium is on your left.

There are plenty of buses that stop near the venue (too many to list but from Princes Street you can get the 10, 11 or 16).

If you're coming in by train then - if you have the choice - it's easier to get to from Haymarket. (Google Maps walking directions).

When do I need to be there?

We'll be starting things at 09:45 so make sure you're here before then.

What do I need to bring?

Just bring some form of ID that matches the name on your ticket.

We'll be providing tea and coffee in the morning and afternoon breaks but we won't be providing lunch. There are plenty of places to get lunch within a short walk of the venue.

There's no WiFi at the venue but it's central Edinburgh and, from what we've seen when visiting the venue, mobile network signal seems to be pretty good. That said, we're not making any promises about internet access so don't rely on it being available.
