The village is just 50 miles from Glasgow. However, those wanting to pay Lochgoilhead a visit can only do so by travelling along a single-track road. The B828 road in west Scotland leaves the A83 and paves its way through the landscape, following the River Goil.

It then joins the B839 from the A815 Dunoon road further west which will take you into the village. While the drive is certaintly an incredible one full of remarkable sights and places, it is not for the faint hearted.

The Boat Shed is a great spot for those only planning to visit the village for the day, but parking can be a bit of a challenge.

"One of the best lunch spots in rural Scotland - casual, modern and with a great view! Great to have a contemporary lunch spot in rural Scotland that isn't all tartan, Jimmy Shand and taxidermy. Worth the winding drive over and beyond the Rest and Be Thankful, which is enjoyable anyway. Only problem is that parking is very limited, and there are few alternatives," a visitor wrote on TripAdvisor.

As well as sport enthusiats, Lochgoilhood is the perfect place for nature lovers being home to red squirrels, pine martens, otters, red deer, and badgers. Seals and porpoises are also found in the loch testifying of the abudance of wildlife found across the village.
