Scotland's (unofficial) National Cycle Route. The first 130 miles cover the south of Scotland - it's a scenic area with some lovely small villages along the way. The central belt of Scotland is the industrial heartland is not a traditional tourism destination. However, there are some great roads for cycling here that stay well away from the big cities. The roads climb higher than some might imagine before dropping down to Perth. Pitlochry, is the half-way point and from here you really start to enjoy the Highland scenery. North of Inverness the landscape begins to change heading towards the wilds of Caithness and the famous northern outpost of John O'Groats.
Tackling this challenge in four days is a tough undertaking. The route is far from flat, but has no extreme climbs. The whole route has been designed to take in the great Scottish scenery, but keep you away from heavy traffic. You will cycle some roads that carry only the occasional motor vehicle, while the northern sections largely follow Route 7 of the National Cycle Network - a combination of minor roads and some well-surfaced traffic-free paths to connect them
