Been a few years since I've graced Scotland's sunniest city. Best pubs on route from the station to Tannadice? 

What sort of pub are you looking for? What sort of things?

Assuming you are taking the Hilltown route. 

> Leave station

> Have a wander round the V&A. 

> Cross at lights and venture into The Club Bar for a pint of Tennents.

> Go further up same street and stop into the Bank Bar for a draught pint of the guest ale.

> Cross road and head into The Trades for a pint of Staropramen (x2) then wash down with a OVD (double) and coke.

> Walk past the Overgate and stop for a pint of Belhaven Best in the Old Bank bar. Top up with another OVD and coke.

> Have a wander round the Mcmanus Galleries (an excellent museum all round)

> Head towards the Hilltown and stop into the Ladywell Tavern for a pint of Tennents then another Belhaven Best. Tot of whisky to get you ready for the trek up the Hilltown.

> Run up the Hilltown to Cookies and stop in there for a Blue WKD. 

> Further up the Hilltown to the third set of lights and stop in Halleys for a pint of Tennents.

> Set off down towards the hallowed Tannadice turf (via Dens if you need a slash).

No Star and Garter, Arctic Bar, Hill Bar, High Corner, Bowbridge, Barrels, Athletic Bar or Snug?

Why do Dundee United get relegated so often?

It's based on your finishing position in the league above at the end of the prior season.

Dunfermline are Scotland's most relegated club, no?

Not really, although we are most relegated from the top flight (10 times, plus 3 from 2nd tier).
Scotland's "Most Relegated Club" is Stirling Albion, with 14 overall...


...all according to the trusted writings of Wikipedia.

No idea.  Would likely mean that we were the most promoted team in Scotland also, though.  

True, glass half full, I like it.

Just reading that, and Dundee Scotland's foremost yo-yo club since league reconstruction. They should stick that on the website with the Tennents Sixes.

Did no one ever warn you about mixing your drinks?

I know wiki isn't always the most reliable but I could certianly believe that.
