The prison is at 33 Stenhouse Road, Edinburgh. The demonstration is meeting in the car park of the Saughton Prison, and will be from 1530 untill 1630 on the 8th July,
Bring noise making gear, we want the prisoners to be able hear us from inside.
Getting there:
Located in the West Side of Edinburgh on the main A71, the prison is in an area known locally as Saughton. The prison is situated in a predominately residential area and has good transport and road links to the city centre, which provides good access both for local courts and visitors to the prison.
By Bus
Lothian Buses (coloured red & white or maroon) Nos. 3, 3A, 25 and 33 from Princes Street via Haymarket or No. 30 from Princes Street via West Approach Road pass the entrance to the Prison.
First buses (coloured magenta) Nos. 27 and 28 also link Princes Street and the Prison.
By Train
Currently all train services to Edinburgh run through Haymarket and Waverly Stations, Haymarket being closest to the prison. The above noted buses would then provide the link to the prison.
