Directions by public transport


To get to BGS Loanhead from Waverley railway station by public transport, walk along Princes Street (on the side where the shops are) until you see a bus stop for the 37,47 or X47 service. All these services run to Loanhead.

The Loanhead office is located on the South side of Nivensknowe Road just before the entrance to Bilston Glen Industrial Estate and Pentland Industrial Estate. You can either ask the driver to advise you which stop is closest to Nobles Garage, either on Nivensknowe Road or the main Penicuik Road.

The office is easily identifiable with a sign on the gable end of the building and lots of containers and marine equipment in the yard at the front of the building. Press the intercom at the front gate for access to the site.
