Road

From Glasgow follow the M8 south to junction 22 and exit onto the M77. Follow this south for approximately 15 miles until the M77 merges with the A77 and then continue south, following signs for Stranraer. The A77 continues through many Ayrshire towns and villages such as Maybole, Kirkoswald, Girvan and Ballantrae to reach Glenapp, which is approximately 11 miles north of Stranraer. If travelling from the south follow the M6 and cross the border to join the M74 at Gretna. Leave the M74 at Junction 22 (Gretna) onto the A75 and follow this for around 90 miles, going through Dumfries and bypassing Castle Douglas and Newton Stewart to reach Stranraer. From there follow the A77 north for 11 miles to reach Glenapp.
