Ricky's gateway to the Highlands Tour
Spend the day away from the bustling streets of Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh. We provide bicycles, helmets and transport into the heart of the Trossachs National Park just a short 1.5 hour drive from the city centre.
We will spend our day cycling in the magnificent landscape at the gateway to the Highlands of Scotland. Passing by shimmering lochs, spectacular waterfalls, lush native forests and gazing upon the steep slopes of the towering mountains. We may be lucky enough to spot wild deer, eagles, highland cows and all the other wildlife that call this impressive park home.
There will also be a great lunch stop with a stunning view. (Lunch not included in price)

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Edinburgh
We will leave from Edinburgh, Scotlands capital, and drive towards the Trossachs National Park. It will take us around 1.5 hours to reach the beautiful town of Aberfoyle, nestled among the mountains, lochs and forests to the start point of our cycle.
Aberfoyle
Aberfoyle is a small, quaint town in the heart of the Trossachs National Park. It is surrounded by mountains and forests and will be the start of our bicycle ride. One of the Highlands first tourist desitinations in the 1800's, its popularity came from the opening of the railway station which would bring visitors from the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. We will follow in their footsteps by cycling out of town and heading for the great outdoors that surround.
Loch Ard
After leaving Aberfoyle we will reach Loch Ard, a beautiful loch with glassy water and home to lots of wildlife and fantastic views
