Bay parking lessons in Edinburgh
Bay parking is the easiest of the three test manoeuvres if you have reliable reference points. We drill both forward bay (drive in, reverse out) and reverse bay (reverse in, drive out) in the kind of car parks Edinburgh (Musselburgh) examiners actually use.

What we focus on for bay parking in Edinburgh
Forward bay is easier on the way in but trickier on the way out — the reverse out is where most marks are lost, because pupils relax once 'parked' and forget to do a 6-point observation.
Currie tests typically include a section of the A70 and a Lanark Road residential loop. Musselburgh tests use the A199, sometimes the Old Craighall slip onto the A1, and tight back streets near the racecourse.
Who this is for: Pupils preparing for Edinburgh (Musselburgh) test, post-test drivers wanting tidy parking, refresher returners.

If you take one thing from this page: don't book a course built for Lothian generally — book one built for the specific routes used out of Edinburgh (Currie). That's what we do.
If you're just outside Edinburgh — say livingston, falkirk, aberdeen — pickup still works on the same route plan.
