By Road
 
Edinburgh is situated to the south of the Firth of Forth and with all major roads and motorways converging on it, can be easily reached from all parts of Scotland. From the M8 and M9 Heading towards Edinburgh, leave the M8 at Junction 1 and join the A720 (Edinburgh Bypass) heading north. Continue for approximately 1 mile and at the roundabout take the second exit to join the A8 (signposted Edinburgh). *Within 300 metres bear left at the first set of traffic lights onto the A902 (signposted Forth Road Bridge). Follow this road for approximately 1.5 miles, straight across the first roundabout, and at the second roundabout (Barnton) take the third exit to join the A90 (signposted City Centre). Continue along the A90 (Queensferry Road) for approximately 2 miles and bear left at Blackhall Junction onto Telford Road (A902), signposted Leith. After 1 mile, at the roundabout (Crewe Toll) take the third exit onto Ferry Road and then the first turning right onto East Fettes Avenue. The entrance to Fettes College will be seen at the top of the rise after 600 metres on the right-hand side.

From the A1

Leave the A1 at its junction with A720 (Edinburgh Bypass) and join the bypass. Continue along the A720 for approximately13 miles to its junction with the A8 and at the roundabout take the second exit to join the A8 (signposted Edinburgh). Follow directions from the asterisk as above. From the Forth Road Bridge After crossing the bridge join the A90 eastwards (signposted Edinburgh). Continue along the A90 for approximately 7 miles and bear left onto the A902, Telford Road (signposted Leith). After 1 mile, at the roundabout, take the third exit onto Ferry Road and then the first turning right onto East Fettes Avenue. The entrance to Fettes College will be seen after 600 metres on the right-hand side.
 
The use of the A720 to get from A1 to Barnton "Traffic Lights" (no roundabouts for some time) may be straight forward but MAJOR roadworks between flying off A1 and Sheriffhall (Dalkeith) roundabout is causing massive hold ups as the new Dalkeith bypass from Pathhead is being linked up to the ring road. Better to come into Portobello and either use Seafield Road -> North Junction St. (First roundabout) -> Ferry Road (right at traffic lights)  or London Road to John Lewis -> Broughton St / Inverleith Row -> Inverleith Place.
