From Dunoon take the A815 north, along the east side of Loch Eck. From Arrochar take the A83(T) up and over the Rest and Be Thankful, turning left onto the A815 at the west end of Glen Kinglas. Head south along the east side of Loch Fyne towards Strachur. Glenbranter is about 3 miles south of Strachur.
