FROM THE SOUTH
If you are travelling from England, Wales or the Scottish Borders first find your way to the Glasgow or Edinburgh areas - you might like to make use of the AA ROUTE PLANNER - and then follow these directions:
From the GLASGOW AREA head north to Perth via the M80/M9/A9
From the EDINBURGH AREA head north to Perth via the A90/M90
From PERTH take the A9 north towards Aviemore (signposted 'Inverness'). The A9 bypasses Aviemore itself but you will see the signs for the village. Do not go into Aviemore - stay on the A9
Still on the A9, about 2 miles beyond Aviemore turn right onto the A95
Follow the A95 until you see signs for the "Heather Centre". Turn left as though going to the Heather Centre but continue on past the entrance to the Centre
You are now at the bottom end of Skye of Curr Rd. The road takes a right hand bend and then continues straight on uphill. Woodhead Cottages are on the right about 1 mile after turning off the A95. The original Woodhead Cottage 1 has it's own entrance and driveway and is the first one that you come to. Woodhead Cottage 2 is reached via the entrance and driveway to the Shearer's house, 'Birch Cottage'. Look for the Boulder at the entrance with 'The Shearers' carved into it - see Site Plan

From Keith take the A95 heading towards Grantown-on-Spey
