Dundee Travel Forum

Please help this American who does not know her way around Scotland!

I'm trying to find out the best way to get from Dundee to areas in and around Kirriemuir, most specifically, I need help getting to our families estates at Airlie and Cortachy. I haven't even a clue how to begin this journey, but luckily I have two months to get some help with this?

Any information, directions, tips, and approx. travel times would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Kirriemuir is fairly close to Dundee (30 minutes drive at most) and there will be buses. It is also the destination for a thousand tour buses a day - not that there's much to see in Kirriemuir but it tends to be packaged with Glamis Castle (you're not a descendent of the Thane are you????)

Use "Yahoo" maps". If you have a log-in (and it is very easy to get) you can get detailed driving instructions.
If not get on the "Kingsway" (4 lane road).
Turn of onto the A90
Turn left onto A98 (for 4.3 miles) signposted Kirriemuir and follow the signposts for Kirriemuir. Thats what I did. Its a beautiful drive (and you pass Glamis Castle, (worth a look) and go acroos the top of the hills (beautiful if weather OK).
Hope this helps,
Tom
