Kilmartin Valley is steeped in pre-history. Neolithic burial cairns and standing stones abound and the house takes its name from Ri Cruin Cairn which is situated just in front of the main house. There is plenty of opportunity for outdoor activities - horse-riding, golf, sailing, sea and river fishing, hill-walking and bird-watching are all possibilities. Kilmartin village has a church, hotel, shop and post office and restaurant and Lochgilphead is only 8 miles away. Oban, from where one can embark on Caledonian MacBrayne ferries to many island destinations is 30 miles away. Inveraray, Crinan, the Mull of Kintyre and Loch Awe are also within easy reach.
Directions
From the M8 in Glasgow go over the Erskine Bridge (junction 30 via the M898) and take the A82 heading west along Loch Lomond side to Tarbet. There take the A83 through Inveraray to Lochgilphead. From Lochgilphead take the A.816 to Oban.
Remain on the main road for about seven miles and do not take the turning signposted Crinan at Cairnbaan along the B841. One mile south of Kilmartin take the B.8025 to Crinan (there is a big brown tourist sign here marked Temple Wood) - half a mile along this single-track road take the first road on the right. Ri Cruin is the large stone house which is first on the left. Enter by the main gate.
Do not rely on your satnav for the last few miles - it will send you to the wrong place.
Getting there by aeroplane:- From Glasgow Airport, take M8 south towards Greenock, go over Erskine Bridge and follow road directions.
It is possible to get a train to Oban, and bus to Kilmartin
There are several buses every day from Glasgow to Lochgilphead
