Best Day Trips by Train From Edinburgh (2026): Coast, Cities and a Highlands Taster

Edinburgh's best day trips by train need no car and no annual leave: North Berwick's beach in around half an hour, Glasgow and Stirling in under an hour, Berwick-upon-Tweed in under an hour, St Andrews in around an hour and a half, and Pitlochry for a genuine Highlands taster. Early Saturday out, back the same night.
