Directions: Quarter is situated 3 miles south of Stirling.
From Perth on the A9/M9, Glasgow on the M80 or Edinburgh on the M9 take exit number 9 signed to Stirling. (It is signed the same exit number from all directions) The slip road in each case leads to one large roundabout which has motorway services on it.
From the roundabout take the A872 signed DENNY. Quarter is exactly two miles from the roundabout on the left. After one mile there is a garage on both sides of the road, otherwise you are in open countryside on a fast fairly straight road.
About 200 yards, before the gates to Quarter there is a notice saying Wellsfield Farm, Holiday Chalets, Riding stables with some flags.
Once past Wellstead Farm slow down and turn next left up the drive. The entrance is marked with two grey painted stone pillars set back a little which makes them difficult to see until you are close. The drive is lined with trees and Rhododendrons bushes on either side. Drive up the drive turning right at the top where it forks otherwise you will end up in the stables. The house is white.
