Was am Einlass erlaubt ist
Die praktischen, leicht übersehenen Regeln, die entscheiden, was du wirklich mitnehmen kannst.
Pack for changeable weather
Late-August Edinburgh typically runs 15-25°C with real chances of rain even on a sunny forecast — pack a light rain layer alongside summer clothes.
UK ETA covers all of Scotland
A single UK Electronic Travel Authorisation is valid for the whole United Kingdom, so no separate Scotland-specific entry document is needed.

Flughäfen für Edinburgh
Edinburgh (EDI)
Scotland's busiest airport, 13 km west of the centre. The tram runs to Princes Street in about 35 minutes; during the Fringe it is far more predictable than a taxi through a closed-off Old Town.
Glasgow (GLA)
In August, Edinburgh beds and flights both spike. Glasgow is roughly 90 minutes door to door (airport bus plus the frequent Queen Street–Waverley train) and often much cheaper to fly into.
