Stream Crossing on Hillside Trail

Highlight • Trail

One of the rideable parts! Although I guess decent riders with strong legs could ride the whole way up.

Clapper Bridge Over River in Northern Scotland

Highlight • Historical Site

Perfect flat-topped rock for lunch stop or just for sitting and contemplating the ambience. It is right next to an exquisitely made clapper bridge that has been topped off with a concrete surface.

Winding Track in the Scottish Highlands

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ultimately, heads up to the col above the woodlands on the right hand side of the valley, a tough little climb, but probably straightforward on an e-bike!

Lochan Sgeireach

Highlight • Natural

a long section 7-8km of unrideable bog and rock chunks. might be ridable for a proficient mountain biker with plus size tires.

Tip by

30.1 km

True Scottish wilderness.
The Bealach Horn is worth all the effort of getting there.
Magestic Sutherland lies in front. The views on a clear day are incredible. The descent to Achfary from here on a bike is amazing!

Mountain Descent Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

All that hard work was worth it for this descent.
The first half is fun and flowy.
Keep your wits about you on the second section. It is pretty chunky and loose - but a lot of fun!
