Bypass Dundee - come off the A90 at Forfar through Coupar Angus and Stone you then rejoin A9/A90 at Perth.

Apart from going through Perth pretty much, most of the roads are very quiet, straight with only a couple of 30 zones. It takes about the same time as you're cutting out quite a lot of distance. Its a lot quicker if you're gonna hit Dundee at rush hour.

Yeah if your coming from Aberdeen turn off right at the roundabout before Shell then you turn left later on go through an estate and come out at the roundabout near Tescos. :D

You just need to be brave and try out a few alternative routes guys.

And yet you still go through the Shell roundabout, why:question:

I've never been delayed at Dundee I either miss it out altogether or spot the traffic climbing the hill and turn off before the Shell garage.
