Follow the Bamff Road, signposted for Glenshee and Bridge of Cally for 2.5 miles.

After a sharp left hand bend, signed Glenshee, Bridge of Cally, (Glenisla is to the right) you will see the lodge at the end of the drive to Bamff . Turn off the road (to the right) and up the drive – about two thirds of a mile.

Follow the second sign ‘Old Brewhouse’ at the junction as you approach the house.

If you miss the drive, there is a farm road one mile further on, on the right. Go right at the partially ruined steading and you will arrive at the back of the house. The Old Brewhouse is on the left and you may drive in and  park next to it.  Our back door is on the right. Ring the (single) doorbell if no-one is there to greet you.

From the North

You may approach by the Tullymurdoch/Alyth road from the A93, or from the west from Bridge of Cally take the Drimmie Road. If you are approaching from Bridge of Cally go left at a sign for Bamff, then after Mains of Creuchies go right (for Alyth).  You will see the Bamff farm road to your left after a few yards.  Carry on for another half mile and take the next left, a sharp bend, marked Bamff.
