St Andrew’s Day Taxi Service in Edinburgh

Every 30 November, Edinburgh lights up in blue and white to celebrate St Andrew’s Day — Scotland’s national holiday. From ceilidh dances and pipe bands to special offers at local attractions, it’s a day packed with pride and celebration. Kay’s Cabs offers dependable, pre-booked taxis so you can enjoy the festivities without worrying about parking, late-night transport, or crowded buses.

We cover all St Andrew’s Day events across the city — including concerts at the Ross Bandstand, street performances on the Royal Mile, and special residence offers for EH postcode holders at top attractions like Edinburgh Castle and Dynamic Earth. Wherever you’re celebrating, our drivers will get you there safely and on time.

Celebrate Scotland’s National Day with Stress-Free Travel

Traffic in and around Princes Street and George Street is expected to be busy throughout the day, so pre-booking your taxi is the smart move. Kay’s Cabs assigns local drivers who know the shortcuts around road closures and event diversions. We offer pickups from every hotel, Airbnb, and transport hub across Edinburgh — including the airport, Haymarket, and Waverley.

If you’re planning a night out to celebrate with friends, pre-book your return journey so you don’t end up waiting in the cold. Our late-night team operates until the small hours to ensure you get home safely after the ceilidh or concert.

Group Bookings and City Tours

Travelling as a group? Our eight-seater vehicles are ideal for families or friends heading to events together. You can also combine your St Andrew’s Day outing with a mini city tour — we’ll take you past Calton Hill, Arthur’s Seat, and the Castle Esplanade for unforgettable photos.

Kay’s Cabs is locally owned and operated right here in Edinburgh. Every driver is fully licensed, insured, and trained for professional private-hire service. We pride ourselves on Scottish hospitality — courteous service, honest pricing, and on-time pickups.

Whether you’re heading to a restaurant celebration in the Old Town or catching an early-morning airport flight on 1 December, we’ll handle the journey so you can focus on the fun.
