エロックティー湖のおすすめツーリングルート

The pass itself isn't particularly strenuous, but it's very open and can get very windy. The cycle path is also a patchwork of different roads.

Impressive ruins just outside Kingussie. They're free to visit and will impress even if you're unfamiliar with the story of the Jacobite Rising.

Even without any background or knowledge, the Ruthven Barracks are impressive and not to be missed on your bike ride around Kingussie. The well-preserved ruins are free to visit.

This lower section of Glen Tromie is cycled on a hard-packed gravel road that's easy to ride with most bikes. A gravel bike is the ideal choice here, but keep in mind that the paths higher up in the glen deteriorate quickly, and a mountain bike might be a better choice. Whichever bike you use, the scenery is beautiful here, and the views over the various lochs further down the glen are worth the effort alone.

Easy going climb, either way.

You’ll be tempted to bolt along this part, but if you slow down heading towards Kingussie you can take in a stunning view of the mountains

Great stop for coffee and cake

Ruthven Barracks is an early 18th-century infantry barracks built after the Jacobite Rising of 1715 to keep the Highlands under government control. The barracks complex is located at Ruthven, 1.6 kilometres from Kingussie, in the Highland region of Scotland. The barracks were destroyed during the Jacobite Rising of 1745–46. The barracks consisted of a symmetrical arrangement of two wings for living accommodation on the north-east and south-west sides of an open courtyard. The barracks had four floors. Each room had its own hearth, where the soldiers could prepare their own food. The complex was roughly square-walled with attached towers on the west and east corners. The ground floor of the former served as a guardhouse, the latter as a bakery and kitchen. The upper floors of the tower were used for the officers' accommodation. A well was located in the west corner of the complex. The main gate was located on the south-eastern side of the complex. On the north-western side, outside the walls of the barracks complex, there was a stable block.
