Travel

The main conference venue is Alison House, 12 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9DF, a university building home to the Reid School of Music, with keynotes given at the nearby Reid Concert Hall in Bristo Square.

Alison House is about a 10–15-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Walk south, up North Bridge, crossing the Royal Mile and continuing down along South Bridge/Nicolson Street. Cross Chambers Street, pass the Festival Theatre, then take the first right afterwards into Nicolson Square. Alison House is on the right near the end in a little cul-de-sac.

Accommodation

There is no official conference accommodation provided and delegates are advised to make their own accommodation arrangements.  There are, however, plenty of hotels and B&Bs in Edinburgh; below are some suggested hotels in the vicinity:

Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge (***, from £71) – probably the most conveniently located, between Waverley Station / Old Town centre and the conference building (4 minutes walk).

Travelodge Edinburgh Central (**, from £59) – still very central, though slightly further to the conference (6 minutes walk) and train station.

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile (****, from £70) – as with the Travelodge, though you get – and pay for – four stars.

Britannia Hotel (***, from £39) – rather further from the conference, though cheaper.

Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre (Princes Street) ***
