미그데일 호수 최고의 러닝 경로

Keep an eye out for swans and heron as you go across. It is an interesting experience to be on the bridge when a train passes. There is a useful little yellow L-shaped ramp at the side of the steps to wheel a bike up, but it's still hard work if the bike is heavy or loaded (or both!)

Summer 2024 - trail closed, hopefully, not for good. It is well worth its black grading with tricky rock features and great sections of north shore. Miles of smiles ... as they say.

Big challenge to carry a fully loaded e-bike up the many steps

A great crossing point. If your bike is heavily loaded be mindful of the steps as you’ll need to carry your bike up/down

The Shin railway viaduct (also known as the Oykel Viaduct) is a railway viaduct crossing the Kyle of Sutherland. The bridge forms part of the Far North Line between Inverness and Thurso. A footbridge was added to the northern side of the bridge in 2000 which is now part of the National Cycle Network Route 1. From the footbridge there is great view of Carbisdale Castle which was built for the Duke of Sutherland in 1907. There are a small number of stairs on either side of the footbridge.

The bike path crosses the Kyle of Sutherland here as part of the railway viaduct. The bike bridge involves a section of metal steps on each side and a narrow metal grid bridge, it's fun but you will have to push across the bridge and carry the bike up and down the stairs. The nearest alternative is the A836 at Bonar Bridge.

Great views over the river.
