Travel - How to Get Here
By Car
If you are driving FROM THE SOUTH
From the Stonehaven Road (A90) progress to the first roundabout. Take the second turning on the left over the bridge of the River Dee to the second roundabout. Go straight across and progress up Anderson Drive. This is a long drive, broken only by a series of roundabouts and traffic lights. At the 5th roundabout (a landmark is a large radio mast) turn right into Cairncry Road. At the roundabout take the second left into Hilton Street. At the bottom of Hilton Street go straight on into Leslie Road. At next roundabout continue across, downhill towards the sea on St. Machar Drive (A978) and at the second roundabout turn right into King Street. After the playing fields on the right turn into University Road.
At the top of the road the Gateway to the accommodation can be accessed by turning left and immediately right. Once through the gates, turn right, then left and you will find King's Hall (a modern building directly ahead). Registration will be in the foyer of Crombie unless otherwise stated.

It is possible to get flights first thing on the Thursday morning and still be in time for the meeting. Do not feel obliged to take a return flight on the 26th if you want to spend longer up here.

From the airport it is about £7.00 in a taxi to King's Hall. If several of you are coming on the same flight it may be sensible to share a taxi. We will let you know if others have the same travel plans so that you can contact each other and arrange this.
