Directions by road
From Glasgow, take the A82 along the western shore of Loch Lomond. At Tarbet, follow the A83 to Arrochar and continue up into the Arrochar Alps to the Rest and be Thankful viewpoint, at the top of the pass. Turn left here, down the twisting road to Lochgoilhead and bear right along the western shore of the loch. The Lodge is five minutes further on and has a long stone wall.
