The cycling is in four tourist areas, Glasgow, the West Highlands, Perthshire/Angus and Deeside. This area includes plenty of mountain scenery and also some of the most famous lochs in Scotland. You'll not be surprised to hear it also has some busy roads. You won't be seeing much of them though because our route uses a mixture of specially built cycle paths and quiet back roads." It sounds great, but there aren't any detailed directions. Strangely enough, when I emailed them and asked for more info about the route, I was told there wasn't any more and directed to this site. Does anyone know anything about this route? Or have visitScotland imagined a (admittedly very nice) cycle route? I'm not from the area so any tips about what these special, traffic-free back roads might be would be much appreciated. Thanks Ewan |
