Cycle the picturesque Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands have long been a favoured destination for cyclists
and walkers keen to experience the mountain peaks, shimmering lochs
and pretty glens. During this week long trip, you will take the backroads
and country paths where cycle touring is pleasurable. En route you will visit
charming historic towns such as Dunkeld, picturesque Highland villages
such as Fortingall and the peaceful lochside towns of Kenmore and Killin.
A rest day at Killin is included to allow you time to visit the Falls of Dochart,
sail the Loch or walk up Ben Lawers. En route there are opportunities to take
a forest walk or visit one of the many castles and ancient monuments found
along the way.
