On the day of the event, turn up at Festival Square any time between 12-1:30pm, preferably before 12:30pm if it's your first time.
For regular orienteers – remember that some parts of Edinburgh are embargoed because of the World Orienteering Championships next year. Check out the embargoed areas and avoid them.
