Arriving by plane?
You can get to the Airlink bus 100 (24 hour) or the tram (06:60 to 22:52) both to Princes Street, then walk back along Princes Street to bus stop PD to get a 26 bus (or N26 night bus). Both leave from just outside the airport terminal building and take about 35 minutes to Princes Street.
