Drive down Canisp road from Lochinver until you see a small car park on your left, this is probably the best place to park.
There is a donation tin at the end of the car park.
From here you get you first glimpse of Loch Druim on your right and if it's a clear day, your first glimpse of Suilven.

Hiking

The best view is somewhat off the road, close to the loch shore, but it gives a good indication of what is to come.
