Search flights from SVG to EDI
Stavanger Archipelago
Glimpse the rocky islands and deep fjords north of Stavanger during the initial climb out of Sola.
The Kingdom of Fife
See the rugged coastline of Fife, including the world-famous golf courses near St Andrews and the picturesque East Neuk fishing villages.
The Three Forth Bridges
Get an unparalleled view of the Queensferry Crossing, the Forth Road Bridge, and the red UNESCO World Heritage Forth Bridge.
Scottish Highlands
In the distance to the northwest, observe the rolling peaks of the Grampian Mountains, often snow-capped in winter months.
The right side is essential for viewing the Forth Bridges, which are the highlight of the descent. Choose this side to avoid the direct afternoon sun. During winter, the low sun angle over the Highlands creates dramatic shadows and silhouettes.

Jæren Coastline
View the uniquely flat and fertile agricultural landscape of the Norwegian coast immediately after takeoff from Sola.
North Sea Platforms
Spot massive offshore oil and gas rigs dotting the North Sea, appearing as tiny metallic islands in the deep blue water.

A steep-sided volcanic rock in the Firth of Forth, home to one of the world's largest northern gannet colonies.
Edinburgh City Skyline
If landing on Runway 24, get a panoramic view of Edinburgh Castle, Arthur's Seat, and the historic Old Town.
