Getting to Dunskey Estate
We encourage you to arrive in Glasgow on Monday, September 1st. We will reserve a block of rooms at a hotel (location tbd), and invite everyone for a welcome happy-hour at a nearby pub. The following morning, we will provide transport via bus from the hotel to Dunskey Estate. We STRONGLY recommend taking advantage of this transportation (you can indicate this when you RSVP).
If you opt not to take the shuttle, please keep in mind that rental car costs, fees, and taxes tend to add up quickly—much more than in the U.S. Good news on that front: You will not need a car during the week of the wedding as there will be transportation solutions available on site.
Please see the slide deck at the bottom of this page for additional tips and tricks about travel to and within Scotland!
Flights
The closest airport is Glasgow International Airport (GLA) in Glasgow, Scotland, but don’t forget other excellent options such as Belfast, Edinburgh, Manchester, and London.
Check out flights into London (e.g., LHR) for more direct and affordable options. You could easily save $500 versus flying through to Glasgow, and then purchase a one way ticket from LHR to GLA for less than $100.
Hot Flight Tip
Here’s a flight that gets you into Glasgow for the welcome party and gives you one night after we return from the estate the afternoon of the 5th at a reasonable rate. (Updated 29 Dec 2023)
