Road

There are two routes to reach us from the South

Via Fort William - from Glasgow take the A82 up the side of Loch Lomond to Crianlarach, across Rannach Moor and down Glencoe to Fort William. Continue on the A82 (sign-posted Inverness) to Invergarry. Here turn Left onto the A87 towards Kyle of Lochalsh. Shortly after passing Eilean Donan Castle turn right onto the A890 to Lochcarron - this road is single track in places so drive with care. After crossing the railway line at Strathcarron you come to a T junction. Turn Left onto the A896. This takes you through Lochcarron village. Continue on this road to Shieldaig - again single track in places. As you approach Shieldaig you go over a cattle grid and the road forks - take the Left fork along the coast and we are the second house on your right

The above route takes you through dramatic Highland scenery but can be quite slow if the roads are busy. It will take about 5 hours to get here from Glasgow.

PLEASE NOTE - the A890 has been closed between Attadale and Stromeferry since 22nd December 2011 because of multiple landslides. It is uncertain when it will fully reopen. There is currently limited opening as detailed below - cars are being allowed to drive along the railway tracks in convoy. Long delays are occuring.
.

We strongly advise you to travel to Shieldaig via Inverness at the present time.

Please check that the A890 is open before using the west coast route or you may have to make an 180 mile diversion!!!! Traffic Scotland

Current Situation

From Monday 26 March, the A890 Lochcarron – Kyle road on the Stromeferry Bypass will be open to vehicles as follows:-
Monday to Friday (0710 to 1030; 1135 to 1155; 1340 to 1420; 1610 to 1700; 1810 to 1900)
Saturday (0710 to 1030; 1340 to 1420; 1610 to 1700; 1810 to 1900)
Sunday (0710 to 1245; 1400 to 1505; 1615 to 1900).
Outwith these times the road will be closed to all traffic. Times may vary slightly due to train time variations.
The A890 road has been closed since 22 December last year as the result of a landslide. The Highland Council has appointed TRAC Engineering Ltd to make safe the rockface at a point 100 yards west of the Avalanche Shelter. They have 40 staff working round the clock to achieve an early unrestricted opening of the road.

Via Inverness - From the M74 follow signs for Stirling and then Perth. Pick up the A9 at Perth and keep on this road to Inverness. Do not go into the City Centre but keep on the by-pass following signs for Dingwall and Ullapool. Go over the Kessock Bridge. At the next large roundabout the A9 continues northwards and you need to take the second exit onto the A835 for Ullapool. Continue on this road - do not turn into Dingwall unless you need to get some shopping. You pass through Contin and Garve. Shortly after leaving Garve turn Left onto the A832 for Gairloch. At Achnasheen continue straight on at the roundabout. In the middle of Kinlochewe turn Left onto the A896. This takes you through Glen Torridon and is mostly single track road with passing places. Drive carefully. At Torridon follow the road to the Left - it now becomes two track all the way to Shieldaig. On reaching the Shieldaig sign it is easiest to continue on the upper road. As you come down the hill you will see a very sharp right turning heading back into the village. Take this and we are the second house on your Right. Alternatively - particularly if you have a trailer - at the Shieldaig sign turn Right and take the lower road through the village. We are the last but one house on your left before you rejoin the main road.

The above route takes about 3.5 hours from Perth.
