Here at First, we operate a comprehensive network of bus services spanning the Scottish Borders, through Edinburgh and the Lothians and into Stirlingshire and Falkirk in Central Scotland.

Our aim is to provide a reliable and comfortable local bus service, with frequent journeys from the heart of your community, across the east of Scotland. We have a wide range of services and a selection of unlimited daily travel and season tickets to offer a good value deal to all of our passengers.
