Flying to Scotland with Irish Visa

I'm planning to go to Ireland for a work conference and applied for an Irish single entry visa (I'm Green Card Holder and having Refugee Travel document). Please let me know if we can visit Scotland and fly to Edinburgh with this type of visa?

Best Answer

An Irish visa does not authorize you to enter the United Kingdom unless it is a British-Irish visa scheme visa, in which case it will say BIVS. Such visas are available only to nationals of India or China who apply for their visas in India or China.

If you do not have a BIVS visa, and you are not eligible to visit the UK without a visa, then you will need to get a UK visa in order to be able to travel to Edinburgh.
