Bagpipes, Haggis, Kilts and whisky are all things that come to mind when you think of Scotland. Come ride with us and yes you'll experience these and much more - magnificent mountains, glorious lochs and the occasional 'monster', castles. forests and glens. On your arrival you will stay at the beautiful lodge on Loch Lomond.

Day 3 we start the Northcoast 500 section of our tour (Scotlands version of Route 66) and head west across to the Applecross Pass. We'll end the day near the pass saving its beauty for the next mornings early light, (Day 4) where we'll set off zig zagging north up the coast to our next destination of Ullapool. Day 5 takes us from Ullapool along some amazing roads to Durness.  Day 6 sees us ride across to Scotland's most northern mainland tip of John 'o' Groats.
