Samye Ling Visual Guide

Information about the various parts of Samye Ling




To coordinate effectively with others we need to be free of our tendency always to be caught up in our own storyline or our own idea of what is real, what is the truth.


Visiting

Samye Ling is situated in Eskdalemuir in South West Scotland, 15 miles from Lockerbie. We are 2 hours drive from both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and there is a rail link to Lockerbie from all major British towns and cities. Once you arrive in Lockerbie there is a bus and taxi service to Eskdalemuir. For more information see Getting Here.

During Your Stay at Samye Ling

Day visitors are welcome to visit Samye Ling all year round. You can visit the temple, which is open daily from 6am until 9pm, and you are free to stroll around our peace garden and grounds at any time of the day. You can also relax in the Tibetan Tea Rooms, which offer a wide variety of drinks, snacks and small meals, and you can visit our recently extended Shop, both of which are open daily from 9am to 5pm.

For overnight guests the accommodation includes single rooms, twin rooms, dormitories or camping spaces. Please book online at least 24hrs in advance. On arrival, please check in at reception before 6pm to receive your room keys and guest information. Check out time is 11am. For more information see Guest Information

Alternative family accommodation is available locally and we provide some information for your convenience. However Samye Ling is not able to accept responsibility for the quality of service they provide.
