Stirling is faster at 13 weeks but harder at 43%, where women achieve 42.5% and men 43.6%. The 6,508 tests across both centres average 46.9%.

Grangemouth sees women at 50.2% and men at 51.1%, while automatic rates drop to 40% there and 33.7% at Stirling. If you can handle the wait, Grangemouth offers better odds despite the complex industrial roads around the docks and refinery.
