Map

There are two routes to reach us from the South
           
bullet

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.

 
bullet 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 fourth 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 sharp right turning back into the village. Take this and we are the second house on your Left. If you get to the cattle grid you have gone too far and missed the turning. 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.
