If you would like door-to-door directions, we suggest using the RAC Online Routeplanner. For your destination, use Strathaven Airfield.
Beware: GPS routefinders often take you down the wrong road to Strathaven Airfield when used with its ML10 6RW postcode. We have put an airfield direction sign at the road junction some GPSs will take you to, but you can also enter the address Lethame Road instead. We are at the end of its extension as an un-named country road.
From Glasgow, there is a regular bus service, the 3C, operating 17 return journey between the city and Strathaven six days a week (Mon - Sat).

It is a 15-20 minute uphill walk to the airfield, but there's a good cafe about two-thirds of the way! Visit Nether Lethame Farm and their Jolly Jersey cows.
