CLYDE
Head west following the A9 and A 80 until the Auchenkilns flyover junction when you take the slip road and then a right turn to drive across the flyover. The stadium is well signposted. Initially follow signs for “Broadwood” and then follow yellow signs for “Away Support”. The away supporters car park is situated immediately behind the West Stand and this is normally where away supporters watch the game from although it’s been known for away fans to be housed in the south end of the Main (Oki) stand.
Getting back onto the A80 after the match sometimes takes greater concentration! Re-trace the way in but follow signs for Stirling.
Sat Nav Code: G68 9NE
DUNDEE
A simple, short trip straight down the A90 to Dundee and then onto the Kingsway. A number of right turns can be taken towards Cleppington Road but Old Glamis Road is probably the pick of them as it brings you to the top of Provost Road which runs down the gable end of Dens Park. Street parking around the stadium is the order of the day.
Away fans are accomodated in the Bob Shankly Stand.
Sat Nav Code: DD3 7JY
DUNFERMLINE
Leave the M90 at Junction 3. Take the A907 toward Dunfermline. Just keep going straight on this road and you will eventually come to the ground on your right. Away support may find parking on the north side of the ground behind the cemetery and then walking through the cemetery the simplest solution. Alternatively you can park in the town centre and have a 10 to 15 minute walk to the ground. Dunfermline has two train stations each 15 minutes walk to the ground. Both stations are served by trains from Edinburgh.

LIVINGSTON
After crossing the Forth Road Bridge, continue on the A90 until the turn-off for the A8000. Once on this road follow the signs for the M9 motorway going towards Newbridge and join the M9. Take junction 2 (M8 Glasgow) 1.5 miles after joining the M9. Head westbound on the M8 for 4 miles until junction 3, A899 Livingston. Head towards Livingston on the A899. The stadium is very well signposted Livingston FC - Football Traffic from the A899 onwards. Ample parking for cars and buses is available within the Almondvale Stadium car park for a small charge. Almondvale stadium is a five minute walk from the Livingston Bus Terminal which is adjacent to the Almondvale Shopping Centre and the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet. Livingston is very well served in terms of buses from Edinburgh. First Edinburgh route numbers - 12, 16, 27 and 28 all run on a half hourly frequency on a Saturday. There is a limited service from Glasgow - route number X15, while there is an extensive network of services from Falkirk, South Lanarkshire and other areas of West Lothian. There is an excellent half-hourly train service from Edinburgh Waverly to Livingston North Station. The station is on the branch line to Bathgate and the journey time is 23 minutes. From the station you can take a taxi or attempt a twenty minute walk down Alderstone Road following signs for town centre and St John’s Hospital. Livingston South Station at Murieston is on the Glasgow Central to Edinburgh Waverly route via Shotts and West Calder, which runs hourly from Monday to Saturday’s. It’s more or less the same distance from the stadium as the Livingston North Station but with a less straight forward walk.

ROSS COUNTY
A regular trip in recent seasons, this is an enjoyable in the drive through some of Scotland’s best scenery although the return trip in the winter dark is less attractive – watch out for random roaming deer at the roadside!
From Perth take the A9 north at Inveralmond roundabout and then basically drive in a straight line for 115 miles! Having bypassed Inverness over the Kessock Bridge within those 115 miles, at the next roundabout take the 2nd exit onto the A835 (signposted Ullapool, Dingwall), and five miles further on at the roundabout take the 3rd exit onto the A862 (signposted Dingwall.
Once you have entered Dingwall Turn right onto Hill Street (signposted Railway Station, Hospital) and then Turn right onto High Street before bearing left onto Ferry Road. The stadium is clearly visible on the left.
