yip, couple of hours. motorway west, over the erskine bridge then just follow the a82.
the loch lomond section is pretty bad, bendy with rock on one side and water on the other, but once you're clear of that the scenery is amazing.
if you don't know the road, i'd allow another 30 minutes for ooooh'ind and aah'ing time.
stopping at the car park with the tea van near the top of the hill over the metal bridge is pretty much compulsory as is stopping in glen coe.it's a fantastic drive so long as you're not stressed, so allow as much time as possible to enjoy it.
also pretty good cup of tea and bacon roll at the glen coe ski centrePosted 8 months ago # -
Check the road closure times north of tarbet. They are fixing it overnight again but i'm sure you'll be ok during the day.

And check it's Glasgow Glasgow you want, not Glasgow Prestwick.

They are going other way, and desperate to catch a flight!
However plenty of great scenery on way down.
If weather has been superb, (unlikely) there can be queues at Balloch back up Loch Lomond, this is more common in high summer or Bank Holidays, but bear it in mind.Posted 8 months ago #
