Scotland 2016 - Beyond the wall

These were the plans for our 9 day trip to Scotland in June 2016; couple of nights in Edinburgh, couple on the road and more in a highland cottage as a base for exploring. Approx 200 miles per day as we chose less knarly roads than usual to be able to cover the distance; turns out Scotland is quite big! First and last day were getting to and from Edinburgh via pretty roads.

.

With hindsight staying in the centre of Edinburgh was a mistake. If we did it again, which we will, we will go for extra nights in middle-of-nowhere B&Bs.

.

All routes are a composite of bits and pieces of other great routes listed in books (i.e. Bikers Britian), online (i.e. Best Biking Roads) and from our personal experience from having ridden and driven bits of Scotland before. 

.

If you choose to use any of these routes you do so entirely at your own risk. Break the law, get lost, fall off etc is your responsibility/fault, not ours, so don't come crying, litigiously or otherwise, to us.

.

We've tried various ways to share the SatNav files of our routes but the easiest and most effective is to just drop us a line via our contact page and we'll email them to you. Just let us know what format you need (GPS eXchange format .gpx, Garmin GPS database files .gdb or text directions).
