Where the road turns sharply left along Loch Tay, instead turn right onto a minor road. After about one mile, with Drummond Cottage on the left, turn into a track on the right and either walk or drive a short distance to a gate. A few paces before the gate a ‘dog walkers’ track on the left heads downhill. Just as it levels out and before the fence, there is an indistinct path to the left …. the well is about 22 paces along that track on your left.
