DIRECTIONS TO 'TARANSAY'
(Click here for a detailed location map)

Approaching Inverness via main A9 from the south: After passing the junction to Farr and Daviot on the left you will see a Tourist Information Point and Picnic site. Shortly beyond this look for the exit left to Milton of Leyes B9177 (note signs B9006 to Culloden Battlefield 5 miles, Drumossie Hotel). Follow this road round the roundabout, through the underpass and left down the hill past the hotel. Our farm is a few hundred yards further down the hill on the right - look for a drive and a sign with a cows head as well as my Bed & Breakfast sign. Taransay is on the right a few yards down the drive. (If you continue down the hill you would come to the B9006 junction: Inverness left and Culloden right).

Approaching via main A9 to Perth from North West (Dual Carriageway): Exit left for B9006 Culloden, Cawdor etc. At traffic lights (T junction Inverness left and Culloden right), turn right. Continue past Veterinary Surgery, kennels and cottages on right until junction to the right signposted Drumossie Hotel (A9). Turn right and proceed uphill past Easterfield Farm and a white bungalow at the bottom of the hill. Near the top of the hill you will see the Lower Muckovie Farm driveway on the left with a sign depicting a cow's head as well as my Bed & Breakfast sign. Turn into the drive for Taransay a few yards down on the right. If you overshoot exit off A9, take the next one signposted B9177 Milton of Leys that leads you past Drumossie Hotel and downhill towards B9006 to Culloden to find Taransay on the right as in directions from the south.

And if you are curious as to the origin of the house's name,
it comes from the Isle of Taransay
off the coast of Harris in the Western Isles.
