From the A9 Inverness Raigmore Interchange:
Follow signs for A96 Aberdeen road and follow this road to the second roundabout then take the second exit and follow signs for Culloden and Smithton. You got up this road for about 1/2 mile then there is a turnoff to the right for Smithton follow this road up passed the Morning Noon and Night Shop and the road goes to the left. You should take the road that goes straight ahead and follow it down until you come to a bridge with a gate under it and that is you there.
Now it is on foot you will see a farm track the goes between two houses and there is a gate into the field and that is your there.

You can park your car at the side of the road just beside the Railway Bridge.
