Directions to the Back House from Brodick
From Brodick pier, turn right and follow the A841 through
Brodick. Shortly after leaving the village the road takes a sharp
right turn. Follow the B880 which is straight ahead on the crown of
the bend. Follow this road, called The String, for 5 miles over the
hill and down the other side. Go carefully so as not to miss a right
turn signed to Machrie and Pirnmill. This takes you for 3 miles over
Machrie Moor to the west coast where you turn right onto the A841 to Pirnmill. It is now 6 miles to the Back House. On passing the
village sign you will see on your right, surrounded by fields,
Bayview House and the Back House. Draw in behind the house. The
journey is about 30 minutes.
Directions to the Back House from Lochranza
Turn right off the ferry and follow the A841 for 6 miles. Having
