    If you check your map you will see there are two obvious routes to Crianlarich. I would definitely avoid the A82 Loch Lomond road and take the Stirling /Callender route instead using the M9 and A84.

    Again you have a choice at Tyndrum of either via Connel or going north towards Glencoe. I suspect the latter on the A82 may be preferable but there’s not much in it.

    I agree with TW about both routes. The Glencoe road is the more spectacular, one of my favourite journeys anywhere in this country, although there are more hills on the route compared to the Connel one.
