Location information
From Perth take the A90 towards Dundee. At roundabout at entrance to Dundee take the right hand exit, probably signed as Nine Wells Hospital and Airport. The road is Riverside Drive. After half a mile pass road to Nine Wells on left, continue for about another 1 mile to mini-roundabout, take first exit, cross bridge and go up the hill. At crossroads, go straight over into Glamis Road. After about half a mile you will find Balgay Cemetery on the right hand side of the road.
Visiting information
Please note paths and steps on the hill in the older section of the cemetery can be very slippery in wet or icy conditions.
