Hitchhiking out
South towards Dundee, Edinburgh or Glasgow
Work your way south of the river to Tory. Walk onto the A956 (Wellington Road). Follow the road south over two roundabouts, the second of which is really big. Just south of the big roundabout is a petrol station. From experience thumbing is not very effective, be willing to approach people as they fill up their cars.
Public Transport
