The recent reviews for The Tyndrum Inn on Tripadvisor make entertaining reading....

It's easier if you exit at the Paisley junction and head through Inchinnan. Keep going to join the Erskine Bridge. That way you don't have to double back on yourself.

And it's not the last one!

There is also one just south of Clydebank on the A82 (but I wouldn't recommend a detour for that).

And, further north, there's one at the new Waitrose in Helensburgh on the A812 coast road. A slight detour off the A82 at Milton, through Dumbarton and Cardross. Waitrose is on the left as you enter Helensburgh. You can then rejoin the A82 from H'burgh.

Wow! Definitely need sunglasses on to look at those photos. Very keen to see your interior 'in the flesh'.

Just a wee reminder to all, that the fine gentlemen (and ladies) who serve in 'Police Scotland' frequent the M74 at a number of points from the border (around Lockerbie and Abington services being favourite), but especially on the M74 section through Glasgow where the speed limits are 60 and 50 mph.. There are a number of marked and unmarked cars doing the rounds.
