Directions
From Dunoon Ferry (Car Ferry, Hunter’s Quay)
- Off the ferry, turn right onto the main road, that’s the A815 heading north.
- Keep following the A815 along the loch (you’ll have the water on your right for a bit).
- After around 10 minutes, watch for signs for Strachur / Glasgow, and take the left turn onto the A886.
- Stay on the A886 for about 15–20 minutes. You’ll go through Clachan of Strachur and past a few forestry bits.
- When you see signs for Tighnabruaich / Kames, turn left onto the A8003.
- This road’s twisty but stunning. It climbs up and gives you amazing views over the Kyles of Bute. Just take it steady; it’s single carriageway most of the way.
- Follow the A8003 all the way down into Tighnabruaich village. It takes about 25 minutes from the turnoff.
- Once you reach the village, PA21 2BD will be in that stretch, before the Kyles Medical Centre.
From: A83 (the main Inveraray–Lochgilphead road)
- If you’re on the A83, head to the village of Strachur.
- At Strachur, take the A886 turn-off, signposted for Glendaruel / Colintraive / Tighnabruaich.
- Stick with the A886 for about 15 miles (roughly 25 minutes). You’ll go through Glendaruel, mostly wooded countryside with a few open glens.
- Watch for signs to Tighnabruaich and Kames, then turn right onto the A8003.
- The A8003 climbs steeply at first, it’s a winding, narrow road with some cracking viewpoints over the Kyles of Bute.
- Keep following it for about 9 miles (20–25 minutes) until you drop down into Tighnabruaich.
- Once you reach the village, PA21 2BD will be in that stretch, before the Kyles Medical Centre.
