Edinburgh's layout and where luggage storage fits in

Between an early Airbnb checkout and a late train out of Edinburgh, a bag shouldn't dictate your last afternoon. Stasher helps you stow it nearby and keep moving.

The airport and the central railway station both have official left-luggage facilities, while some attractions and venues offer lockers or a cloakroom, and others have no storage at all. Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, is located in southeast Scotland. With Stasher, you can store bags from £1.49 per bag per day at 80+ locations across Edinburgh.

Luggage storage at Edinburgh Airport and Waverley Station

At Edinburgh Airport, there is an official left-luggage facility inside the terminal across from the Jet2 check-in desks. It charges £10 for up to 3 hours, £15 for up to 24 hours, £27.50 for up to 48 hours, and £40 for up to 72 hours. Edinburgh Waverley has its own official left-luggage office, with booking and payment available online in advance. Edinburgh Trams connect the airport to the city centre, with stops at Edinburgh Haymarket and St Andrew Square near Waverley. The Airlink 100 is a 24/7 express coach from the airport to the city centre, taking about 30 minutes, with a one-way adult fare of £6.00. It runs up to every 10 minutes from 03:40 to 00:20 and up to every 20 minutes between 00:35 and 03:25.

Bag rules and cloakrooms at attractions and venues

At Edinburgh Castle, suitcases and large rucksacks of 30L or over are not permitted, and the castle cannot store luggage, prams or other personal items. The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh offers lockers at the West entrance for £1, with internal dimensions of 85cm high, 40cm wide and 40cm deep. Edinburgh Corn Exchange provides a cloakroom for a small fee per item, and Slateford is the nearest train station.

Murrayfield Stadium does not provide any bag storage or cloakroom. The stadium is served by a dedicated tram stop named Murrayfield Stadium, directly next to the Roseburn Street entrance. Royal Yacht Britannia is served by Edinburgh Trams at the Ocean Terminal stop.

Edinburgh Castle is open daily from 9.30am, closing at 6pm from 1 April to 30 September and 5pm from 1 October to 31 March. The Royal Yacht Britannia is open daily, with first entry at 10:00 and last entry at 15:00 from January to March, and first entry at 9:30 and last entry at 16:00 from April to October.

Getting around Edinburgh with bags

On Edinburgh Trams, each tram has six luggage racks with space for large or bulky suitcases, and passengers must not block aisles, exits or priority seating. Lothian Buses drivers may refuse to carry items they believe are excessively large, and luggage must not be placed on seats or cause any obstruction. If a wheelchair user wishes to board, the driver has a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to free the wheelchair space, which may include asking passengers with bulky luggage to move. Waverley is the closest train station to Edinburgh Old Town and sits immediately north of the neighbourhood.

Haymarket serves as the main station for the West End, which is also served by the West End tram stop. Princes Street is Edinburgh's main east-west thoroughfare and primary shopping street. Princes Street Gardens generally opens at 07:00, with seasonal closing times ranging from 18:00 in winter to 22:00 in summer.
