By Car & Ferry: From the Erskine Bridge, whether crosing over from the M8 or passing by on the A82, the journey to the Ferry Terminal at Kennacraig should take between two to three hours, depending on road conditions. Once on the A82, follow it along the edge of Loch Lomond to Tarbet, take the A83 through Arrochar, over the 'Rest and be Thankful' on to Inveraray and down Loch Fyne, passing Lochgilphead and Tarbert.
Five miles (8km) south is the Ferry Terminal at Kennacraig.
How to find us: Once on the island, it's four or seventeen miles to Kilmeny, depending on the port of arrival. Please look out for the sign on the stone pillars that simply says KILMENY. The sign is half a mile SOUTH of Ballygrant village. Turn in and follow the farm road up to the farmhouse. If arriving from the Port Ellen direction, we are perhaps more easily identified by our recently erected wind turbine, several hundred metres behind the Guest House, supplying all our electricity needs on windy days.
