You can fly to either Edinburgh or Glasgow Airports from a wide range of international
and domestic airports. It may be the case, however, that if you are flying
in from a country that does not go direct to either of these airports that
your journey will have to go via one of the London airports. There are very
regular shuttle flights to both Glasgow and Edinburgh from London.
Frequent coach transfers are available from each of the two airports to their respective city centres. From there, visitors can access the frequent and reliable train services which run to Stirling from both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
If you are an international student flying in to Edinburgh or Glasgow Airport, then you may want to take advantage of the University's Airport Pickup Service. For more information and booking, click here.
