A new bus service is set to connect Dundee, Perth and Stirling with Glasgow Airport.

Flixbus will run the service between Aberdeen and the airport nine times a day from this Thursday (April 17).

The route will take in stops at the Overgate Shopping Centre on West Marketgait in Dundee, Broxden Park and Ride in Perth and Castleview Park and Ride in Stirling, before dropping passengers at terminal one.

The journey from Dundee to Glasgow Airport is expected to take around two-and-a-half hours.
