High Blantyre and Blantyre Works are connected with Glasgow by the Caledonian railway.
The two trunk railways serving Edinburgh are the North British and the Caledonian.
For details see Caledonian Sleepers or call National Rail Enquiries on 08457 484950.
The Links are the scene every year of the Edinburgh race meetings and of those of the Royal Caledonian Hunt which are held every third year.
The Caledonian railway enters the town from the south-west by a bridge across the river, and also owns a ferry to South Alloa, on the opposite shore, in Stirlingshire.
