Scotland

Scotland offers some of Europe’s finest cycling, with quiet roads winding through dramatic mountains, ancient glens, forests and spectacular coastal landscapes. Historic villages, castles and remote Highland communities add character to the journey, while the constantly changing scenery makes travelling by bike a wonderful way to experience the country.

Our guided Far North Scotland tour explores the magnificent landscapes of the northern Highlands, following remote roads past tranquil lochs, rugged mountains, fishing villages and some of Scotland’s most beautiful coastline.

For cyclists who prefer to travel independently, our self-guided tours offer the freedom to explore at your own pace with redspokes support. The Far North Self-Guided tour follows a similarly spectacular journey through the northern Highlands, while Cairngorms & Speyside Self-Guided explores the mountains, forests and moorlands of the Cairngorms National Park before continuing through historic Speyside and its famous whisky country.

More Information about Scotland

Scotland’s remarkable variety of landscapes makes it particularly rewarding to explore by bicycle. In the Highlands, mountains rise above deep lochs and glens before giving way to a coastline of rocky headlands, sweeping bays and white-sand beaches. Further east, the Cairngorms offer a different landscape of ancient pine forests, open moorland and broad mountain valleys.

The country’s history is equally visible along the way. Castles, ancient settlements, battlefields and historic villages tell stories stretching back centuries, while traditional industries such as fishing, farming and whisky production remain closely connected to the places through which you cycle.

Away from the busier roads and cities, Scotland has an extensive network of quieter roads that are ideal for exploring by bike. The slower pace allows time to appreciate the landscapes, stop in small communities and discover places that are easily missed when travelling by car. Combined with Scotland’s history, wildlife and distinctive Highland culture, it makes for an exceptionally varied cycling destination.
