Flying to Scotland?
Edinburgh Airport and Glasgow Airport are the main arrival options for IN Scotland 2027, with public transport connections to Dunblane.
From Edinburgh Airport, take the tram to Edinburgh Park Station, then a train to Dunblane. There’s no need to travel into central Edinburgh first.
From Glasgow Airport, take the Airport Express 500 bus into Glasgow city centre, then continue by train from Glasgow Queen Street to Dunblane.
From Dunblane station, a local taxi is a convenient way to complete your journey to Apex Dunblane Hydro, particularly with luggage.
Prefer to travel directly? Both airports offer taxis and car hire, and you can arrange a private transfer in advance.
Please check connections for your travel dates and allow time for baggage collection, transfers and the final journey to the hotel. We’ll share further travel guidance with attendees closer to the event.
Where to Stay
Stay at the heart of IN Scotland 2027 at Apex Dunblane Hydro.
We have arranged a limited allocation of hotel bedrooms for attendees, so you can enjoy the conference, evening events and those lovely in-between moments without travelling elsewhere at the end of the day.
Once you purchase your conference ticket, you’ll receive the hotel booking link or code in your confirmation email.
Rooms within our allocation are available on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability. Accommodation is booked and paid for directly with the hotel and is not included in your conference ticket.
If your chosen dates do not appear through the booking link or code, please contact the hotel directly to check availability.
Prefer to stay elsewhere? We’ll also share nearby accommodation suggestions to help you plan your visit.
Somewhere special to connect
We’re bringing The Indie Network on tour, and we wanted a setting that made the journey feel special.
Set within ten acres of beautiful Scottish grounds, Apex Dunblane Hydro combines grand Victorian character with welcoming spaces to gather, learn and unwind.
Beyond the conference sessions, there’s room for the moments that make these events memorable. Coffee with a new connection, a walk with fellow authors, or a conversation that carries on long after the session ends.
With our conference spaces, evening events and accommodation together at the hotel, you can settle in and enjoy being part of the community.
We could picture our authors here from the moment we visited, and we cannot wait for you to experience it too.
