Getting to ESAT... By road... Edinburgh Surface Analysis Technology is located in room 2.32 on the second floor of the Chemistry Department at Heriot-Watt University. The University's Riccarton campus is situated a half mile west of the A720 Edinburgh By-Pass at the Calder Junction (A71). From the Edinburgh-bound extension of the M8, turn right at the Hermiston Junction following signs for the A71 and Heriot-Watt University. Once at the Calder Junction on the A71 travel away from the city centre for about 600 yards turning left at the approaching traffic lights. Continue along towards the University's main entrance at the Riccarton Mains Road roundabout.

By air... Edinburgh International Airport is served by scheduled national and international flights. The airport is on the west of the city, approximately 5 miles from the campus. The journey by taxi takes about 10-15 minutes and a regular bus service links the airport and the city centre.

Having entered the campus at the Riccarton Mains Road roundabout, turn right at the first mini-roundabout on the Avenue, follow the road for about 800 yards as it sweeps left passing car park A and the First Gait turning. Turn left into Second Gait and proceed to the Chemistry courtyard located towards the end of Second Gait on the left. Please obtain a temporary parking permit from the ESAT Secretary. Access to ESAT is through the courtyard door of the Chemistry Building, using the lift to Level 2. Room 2.32 is located directly in front of the lift on Level 2.
