In about 2 miles turn right at brown tourist sign at Kingshouse " Rob Roy's Grave, Balquhidder Church" Follow signs to Balquhidder and after Church and Rob Roy's Grave on right go about 200 yards and turn left ( at village hall and red telephone box, Loch Voil in front of you) Over narrow stone bridge and immediately turn right up our drive for about quarter of a mile and follow black and white sign (bearing left at junction) and you are here!
