options the most straight forward journey would be to travel
to Glasgow Queen Street Station from Edinburgh. Once at
Glasgow Queen Street follow the description from the
Glasgow

Car There are a number of
possible routes when travelling by car, the description
given here is ONE possible route. N.B. All directions
on maps relate to the 'Green' arrows shown on the
maps. For a general
overview of the route once you near Airdrie please refer to

are more detailed maps referred to within the text
below. Head towards Glasgow
on the M80 and continue onto the A80 heading south. When you
get to the intersection with the A73 (North of Condorrat)
turn left onto the A73 (Map

Follow the A73, which
is a dual carriageway past Windyridge onto Riggend, at which
point the road becomes a single carriageway. At the roundabout
just past Riggend go straight across and keep heading for
Airdrie, passing by Stand (Map

As you come into
Airdrie on Stirling Road you come to a roundabout
(Map

striaght across this roundabout into Motherwell Street and
continue down hill until to come to another roundabout,
