On exiting the train station onto Guild Street, cross to the entrance to the Trinity Centre. Continue straight through the centre on to Union Street.

A number 1 (towards Danestone), 2 (towards Ashwood), or X40 (towards Dubford) will drop you off on King Street. The best stop is the one after King Street Bus Depot, then make your way down Pittodrie Street or Merkland Road on the right
