At Edinburgh - the tram (£5.50 one way) will take you to Edinburgh Gateway station (for trains to Fife stations, Perth, Dundee and onwards to Inverness and Aberdeen. The tram will also take you to the city centre, via Edinburgh Park station, for trains to Stirling, Dunblane, Glasgow, Airdrie etc You can also get the 747 bus to Inverkeithing station in Fife to then get trains (bus to platform here is about 30 metres away) to Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness.
