Directions

By road - from the M8 Glasgow follow the signs for Glasgow & Glasgow Airport. Beyond Glasgow Airport continue all the way to the Erskine Bridge (Junction 30). After crossing the bridge take the A82 to Dumbarton. Continue on A82 to Dumbarton (to shop at Asda, Morrisons or M&S Food turn off the A82 at the signpost for the A814 and travel for about 1.5 miles and you will see Morrisons on your left and Asda on your right.) If not shopping continue on the A82 past Loch Lomond until you reach Tarbet. At Tarbet take the A83 to Arrochar (this is a straight road with the Tarbet Hotel on your right, but is mentioned to avoid you taking the continuation of the A82 which would be a right hand turn as you enter Tarbet). Continue on the A83 over ‘The Rest & Be Thankful’(approx. 6.5 miles) (this is a local viewing point with a car park to afford views of the valley below, worth a stop on a nice day - at this point avoid the left hand turn off to Lochgoilhead). After approx. 4.5 miles take the left hand turn off - signposted A815 Dunoon. You will pass through the village of St Catherine ’s and then into Strachur (approx. 10 miles in total). After passing the Creggans Inn Hotel on your left, take the right-hand turn (signposted A886 Tighnabruaich-Loch Fyne is on your right). On the A886 the road will become a single track. Just before it becomes single carriageway again you will pass a sign for 'Strathlachlan' and Creagh Dubh is the third house on the left after that (Telegraph pole at the bottom of the drive). There is parking at the rear of the house. Alternatively, from the central belt, you can travel by Ferry from Gourock to Dunoon and travel by road north west to Strachur.
