Not a great spot, but the best you've got if you're going to Aberdeen. Got a ride to Aberdeen. Sign helps―Anonymous

This is likely a good spot, but I just unlucky. I came here in the evening and tried to thumb a ride to Dundee. Tried for two hours, asked at the gas station, nothing worked. Then I slept hidden in nearby bushes (it's hidden and doable, not comfortable) and continued the next morning. It took me like 20 minutes to thumb a car.Btw, the gas station staff is awesome, I went here in the evening (around 8pm) asked for a cardboard and the guy told me that I can have all the pastry that I want because he has to throw it out. Don't count on that, but he made my day.

A decent spot. I stood just on the ramp to McDonald's. I would advise you not to ask for the rides in the McDonald's parking lot, I did not even have time to start asking and the manager came out pissed at me that I can't do that (even though I did not do anything). A cool fisherman waved at me from the lot and took me all the way to Aberdeen.―martih

This is a decent spot for Peterhead, but maybe I just got lucky. There is a small infrequent gas station, so you are much better just thumbing from around here.―martih

Bus 13 and 16 from city centre. Burger King is a good indicator where to get off the bus―Anonymous

There is a busstop just after the street turned into a "highway". First there´s a parking spot and right after that the busstop. Easy to thumb a ride towards Inverness and generally north of Scotland!Take bus 27 to get there. 17 and 21 get you close to it!―Anonymous

Exellent for Inverness and north. Most of the local trafic to airport and Dyce industrial area has turned. A sign is helpfull as well. Stagecoach buses will take here for £1.70 bit pricy but worth it―Anonymous

I spent 2 hours in rain until I got a ride. But still, I think it's the most reasonable place to hitchhike if you're heading south.―Urbanekto

Good spot as it's very close to the First Aberdeen bus station (you can use your Aberdeen City bus ticket) and cars have plenty of space to stop.Excellent for going to the west. I got a ride to Banchory, but cars go also much further (Braemar).

I waited here at this gas station for about 5 minutes until someone stopped to pick me up. They had to pull over in the "no entry" gap of the gas station because by the time he noticed me there was nowhere else to stop. Luckily, there were no vehicles exiting the gas station at that time so there was space for him to stop there briefly. I would recommend standing further down the road from the gas station to hitchhike so that drivers have the time to see you and then make a decision to stop for you before they reach the point of no return! Cars are going by quite fast on this road so they have little time to make quit stopping decisions.―Anonymous
