I think that the route description gives all the info required. I can just add from myself that the walk is short indeed but it is very much worth doing as the views are spectacular, and on a warm sunny day this place is to be enjoyed for hours :)

alltan mhic aoidh is a small peninsula (actually it's tiny) on loch leven. views from this lovely spot are amazing, in all directions: west to the bridge and further to the hills on ardnamurchan peninsula, north to the group of hills called mamores, west to pap of glencoe, very end of aonach eagach ridge and south to the group of hills called beinn a'breithir. we started the walk from ballachulish visitor centre (car park shared with co-op), walked under the bridge and we were already there -free to explore this lovely viewpoint. as I already mentioned, the place is tiny, so exploring it in detail takes just as much as 1.5hrs
