Directions to the Chapel
From Outside Edinburgh
At the roundabout at the end of the M8 take the third exit on the city
by-pass (marked A720 South and Berwick-upon-Tweed) and continue on the
by-pass all the way around the outskirts of Edinburgh until you reach
the Sheriffhall Roundabout.
Take the second exit, signposted Old
Craighall (A6106) and continue on this road to a small roundabout with
an Inn (The Cockatoo) on the right. Turn left at this roundabout
(signposted Newton/Danderhall) and continue on a fairly winding road
for about 2 miles to a set of traffic lights at The Wisp.
Turn left at the lights into Niddrie Mains Road
– go through 3 sets of pedestrian lights. After the third set
of lights take the second left turning into Craigmillar Castle Avenue:
the entrance to The Thistle Foundation is on the left. The Robin
Chapel is situated at the end of the driveway. There are parking
spaces in front of the main building.
From the City Centre (Princes Street)
From Princes Street travel up North & South Bridge (the Bridges).
(If you want to catch a bus it can be caught either here or at the
top of Leith Walk, numbers 2,14, 30, 32 will take you to just outside
The Thistle Foundation on Niddrie Mains Road). If you are driving
just follow the road without taking any turning until you reach
a roundabout (near Cameron Toll). At this roundabout turn left,
you will then come to a small roundabout at which you should go
straight on. Ahead will be another roundabout (with traffic lights)
and you should be in the right hand lane. You will be taking the
second exit (A6095 signposted Musselburgh) into Peffermill Road,
which will soon become Niddrie Mains Road. Follow the road and you
will come to a crossroads with lights –stay in the right hand
lane- and go straight across. You will pass by some shops and will
shortly see The Thistle Foundation signposted. Turn right into Craigmillar
Castle Avenue: the entrance to The Thistle Foundation is on the
left. The Robin Chapel is situated at the end of the driveway. There
are parking spaces in front of the main building.
