• From the road junction at Claonaig, walk about a mile south west along the B842 single-track road. There is no continuous verge, and the traffic is light. Turn right at the car park and head up a broad track, which has views to the Isle of Arran as it winds uphill.
• For about 1.5 miles, head north-westerly between a fence on your left and a woodland area on your right. The route rises gently before levelling off and then descending to a bridge across the Larchmor Burn. After the bridge, the trail turns sharply south west, crossing moorland with heather and bilberry and views over to Arran.
• Follow the road westerly for over a mile before turning left and south. Within 435 yards, bear right towards Loch Ciaran on a broad forest road. On the northeastern shore of the loch, look out for the Loch Ciaran Standing Stone. This prehistoric standing stone dates to the third or second millennium BC.
• About halfway along with Loch Ciaran, be alert for where the Kintyre Way bears off to the left. It then follows a stream from Loch Ciaran along the left side of the Kintyre Way. The path then turns to the right, over a dyke into mixed woodland.
• In spring, see the carpet of bluebells. Follow the waymarkers through the woods. The path goes downhill, then steepens (here there is a wooden walkway) continue through the woods, emerging at a minor road where you turn right, downhill towards the A83. The village of Clachan lies ahead on the far side of the A83.
