[edit] Access and Facilities

Heading out of Dundee westwards along Riverside Road, past the airport and Riverside Inn (continue towards Invergowrie after the circle into the Riverside Inn), you'll see bushes down the left hand side with a couple of large factory type buildings behind them. At the end of the bushes there is a junction on the left hand side, turn in here and go straight ahead, then follow the road to the right, and at the end of the road you should see a small car park.
