Bicycle hire in the Highlands of Scotland
 

Need to get out the house/county/country, need to get fit and need to see the great Scottish outdoors! Im thinking of booming up on the train to Inverness and then renting a bicycle and touring around for three days. I can find rental companies but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/experiences of companies to go with?

Thanks.

Hi,

I've never hired a bike (I already have a few), but there's a good bike shop in Pitlochry that hires bikes.

I mention that as you can take a great route from Pitlochry up through Braemar, Tomintoul, Granton, Cawdor to Inverness. Through the Cairngoms. Then train it back down to Pitlochry, or just ride down (there's alternatives/cycle paths all the way down the A9). You could also do some of the (light) off-road through Gaick Lodge or Bruar Lodge, back to Pitlochry.

cheers

Nice one Dougie, that sound right up my street and what i was looking for. Just in the process of shanghai-ing a few mates to the cause!

Cheers.
