Travel and visitor information

Getting to Dundee

The conference will be held within the Dalhousie Building of the University of Dundee - campus map and further details are on the Conference Venue page.  Dundee is on the east coast of Scotland, midway between Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

The nearest international airport is Edinburgh Airport., though Glasgow Airport and Aberdeen Airport are only a little further away. For the cheapest flights, look for budget airlines flying into Edinburgh, Glasgow or Aberdeen.  Flying direct to Dundee is very convenient but can be more expensive. Flybe is a budget airline that flies to Belfast City and Birmingham International airports from Dundee.  Air France runs regular flights between London City and Dundee airports as part of its CityJet service. 

Regular trains from Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and other UK cities run to Dundee. Further information can be found on the National Rail Enquiries website. The cheapest train tickets become available approximately 3 months before date of travel, and often sell out quickly.
