Glasgow International
Airport is the nearest airport to the venue - approximately
10 miles away. From Glasgow International Airport, you can
take the train to Glasgow Queens Street and change for Balloch,
hire a taxi, or hire a car (approximately 20 mins drive).
Glasgow International Airport is the best option if you
want to get to Loch Lomond as quickly as possible, or if
you want to explore the surrounding area before or after
the weekend. We will not, however, be able to host anyone
flying to Glasgow.
Alternatively, you
can fly to Edinburgh Airport if you wish to be hosted before
or after the weekend. From Edinburgh you can take the Highland
Swing bus or take the train to Balloch. You can find cheap
flights to any of these airports from or most European cities.
