A new bus service from Aberdeen to Dundee and Edinburgh (including the airport) is starting soon. Ember will also drop off and pick up at Portlethen, on the A92.

Unfortunately according to the map on their website, no pick-ups in Newtonhill, only drop-offs northbound. However I am told that if you try to book tickets from Newtonhill to Edinburgh it comes up! Maybe it is their way of describing the Park and Choose? Strange. Maybe just teething problems.

The full launch will be on 22 October 2024, with 20 services per day running 24/7, but they are “soft launching” some limited stop services ahead of this.

It’s £15.50 for an adult single from Aberdeen to Edinburgh if you book online. Bus passes are valid too.
