Edinburgh to Dundee: How Our Process Works
Moving services from Edinburgh to Dundee use the M90 northbound from the Forth Road Bridge through Kinross and on to Perth, then the A90 east into Dundee.
Alternatively, the A90 from the Forth Bridge roundabout and through the Fife coast via Kirkcaldy is a scenic option.
The M90 route is faster — around an hour for the 60-mile journey in a removal van.
The Tay Road Bridge delivers traffic directly into central Dundee.
The bridge is open to all vehicles, including heavy removal vans, and is toll-free.
Dundee city centre has controlled parking zones, but most residential deliveries in Lochee, Stobswell, Broughty Ferry, and the West End are straightforward.
Giant Van confirms access at your specific Dundee delivery postcode before the move.
Where Giant Van Goes From Edinburgh to Dundee
- 01
Broughty Ferry on Dundee's eastern edge is the city's most sought-after residential area, with Victorian villas and sandstone terraces facing the Tay estuary.
- 02
Street access here is generally good, with broad roads and residential parking.
- 03
The West End near the university has older tenement flats with standard Scottish stairwells — furniture goes in via the front door and up shared stairs, so bulky item clearance may need advance planning.
- 04
Lochee and Coldside are more straightforward for van access.
- 05
The Waterfront development near the V&A has new-build flats with controlled parking bays, which sometimes need short-term visitor permits.
- 06
Giant Van is familiar with each Dundee postcode's access characteristics.
- 07
We do not learn these on move day — we check beforehand.
