directions to Highfield and the site plan
travelling from the south or east
suggested route 1
via Glasgow -> Loch Lomond -> Inveraray ->
Dalmally -> Connel-> Benderloch
M74 / M73/ M8 / A82 / A83/ A819 / A85 / A828
TAKE CARE approaching Glasgow from the
south - the M74 leads into the city centre. You have to get on to
the M73 then on to the M8 - follow the signs for Glasgow Airport and
you'll be fine.
Follow the M898 to pass over the Erskine Bridge then onto the A82
through Dumbarton to Balloch and then about 16 miles north to Tarbet.
BEWARE The northern section of the A82
along the shores of Loch Lomond from Tarbet - Ardlui - Inverarnan -
Crianlarich is very narrow, twisting and frequently pot-holed! In
peak periods it's also very busy and usually very slow !
We advise you to AVOID the A82 between Tarbet and
Crianlarich when towing a caravan or in a motorhome!
A BETTER ROUTE Leave the A82 in Tarbet and
bear left towards Inveraray following the A83. In Inveraray, turn
right under the archway on to the A819 towards Dalmally, where you
turn left to join the A85 towards Oban, which brings you through
Lochawe, Taynuilt and Connel.
Alternatively, consider another route which avoids Glasgow. It's a
little further but we think it’s an easier run either towing a
caravan or in a motorhome!
