Many visitors begin their tour of Scotland with a stay at Lynnhurst Hotel, preferring to start out fresh after a long transatlantic flight or a drive up from England. Increasingly, they are discovering how convenient the area is as a base for touring.

Loch Lomond is about 25 minutes by car via the Erskine Bridge.

A half hour or so from Paisley via the M8/A78, Caledonian MacBrayne provide regular ferry services at Gourock and Wemyss Bay across the Firth of Clyde - to all of the Western Isles and to Dunoon, where the Highlands begin.
