Travelling to Dundee

Dundee has fairly frequent, fast train services from the south (Edinburgh 1¼ hours, Glasgow 1½ hours, Newcastle 2½ hours, London 6 hours, Oxford 7¾ hours). There are also sleeper services from London, arriving at around twenty past six in the morning. The sleeper to Edinburgh is another option. Cheap bargain berths are often available on the Scotrail web site. Note that sleeper services do not currently show on the National Rail Enquiries journey planner but are displayed by the Deutsche Bahn timetable.

Dundee's airport has scheduled flights from London City Airport, and it's just down the road from our house. Edinburgh airport can be reached from a wider range of cities, but there is no rail link (yet) to the airport.

By road, Dundee is best approached from Perth, unless you happen to be starting from Fife, in which case you can take advantage of the Tay Road Bridge. If you're coming from the north, your Scottish geography is better than ours...
 

Our house

 Our house is in Gowrie Street, just up the road from where we used to live in Shepherd's Loan. Buses from the centre of town run along the Perth Road to Ninewells Hospital and other destinations. Nos. 9, 11, 37, 39, 54, 73 and 75 all stop opposite Gowrie Street at the bottom of Blackness Avenue (alight by the library). There are other buses which continue along the Perth Road: if you get off at Blackness Library you won't have far to walk.
