Finding the house
- Head north on the A9 from Inverness and then take the A835 to Ullapool.
- From Ullapool take the A835 and A837 to Lochinver.
- Just before Lochinver turn right onto the B869, signposted Stoer and Drumbeg.
- After about a mile there is a small bridge. Do not turn left to Achmelvich here, but keep on the main road to the right.
- An Airidh is on the right less than a 1/4 mile after the bridge.
- If you go up a long, long hill you have missed the house!
❗️ If you are using a satnav, do not enter the postcode as this will probably take you to the wrong road. Use the latitude (58.174) and longitude (-5.263) instead.
