After passing through the village of Bridge of Allan the University entrance is located on the left hand side at an obvious roundabout. Once in the University grounds and past the gatehouse, turn left for the Pathfoot Building.

Parking on campus is free at weekends. There is a car park in front of the Pathfoot and a further car park to the rear of the building. If parking at the rear, please use the spaces up the slope to the right (the spaces adjacent to the building are being used for mountain rescue and exhibitors). There is additional parking behind the student accommodation blocks to the east of the Pathfoot and in the main part of the campus.
There are blue badge spaces available at both the front and rear of the Pathfoot.
