Travel Information

The workshop venue, Lodge on Loch Lomond, is situated on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond about 48 km north of Glasgow 

Loch Lomond is one of Scotland's most beautiful and iconic places. It was the inspiration behind an old love song, still traditionally sung at special occasions. The mesmerising loch lies in the heart of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, surrounded by charming villages, rolling countryside, hills and some truly wonderful activities. 

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, and is regularly in the Top 10 Places to Visit by The Lonely Planet, among others. It is a vibrant city with a booming underground music scene, architectural haven and growing gourmet retreat. It is also a great stepping stone to visit the rest of Scotland. The city itself is well connected by bus (firstglasgow.com) and subway networks (spt.co.uk), with most (if not all) locations in the downtown area within walking distance.

Glasgow is in west central Scotland. It’s Scotland’s largest city and is easily accessible from the rest of the UK and overseas by train, sea, road and air. For more information on travelling, see People Make Glasgow by the city council.
