Day 1: Pitlochry - Rannoch Moor (34 miles)
This is a scenic and pretty flat opening day of cycling following the River Tummel, Loch Tummel and then Loch Rannoch of the same name. Loch Tummel is one of Scotland's best loved beauty spots and the route follows the minor road on the south side of the water. From the western end of the loch, it's on to Kinloch Rannoch and west to Rannoch Moor. After starting in the busy town of Pitlochry, the day finishes a million miles away from anywhere that could be described as busy.
Accommodation: Moor of Rannoch Hotel , Rannoch Moor.
Day 2: Rannoch Moor - Fortingall (31 miles)
It's along the south side of Loch Rannoch before the hills kick in after Kinloch Rannoch on the journey over towards Loch Tay. There is a tough climb but rewarding views at the top before you descend down to the historic hotel at Fortingall.
Accommodation: Fortingall Hotel , Kenmore.
Day 3: Fortingall - Killin (25 miles)
A great, but pretty tough cycle through Glen Lyon, one of Scotland's most beautiful Glens. A fast descent takes you past Ben Lawers and back to the shore of Loch Tay before arriving in Killin.
Accommodation: The Old Smiddy , Killin
Day 4: Killin - Pitlochry (39 miles)
A long final day, but most of it is reasonably flat following the shores of Loch Tay and then the River Tay. A really great cycling route passing the villages of Killin, Kenmore and Aberfeldy. With a castle and a distillery on the route, as well as the Scottish Crannog Centre , it's a classic day of Scottish cycling.
Accommodation: Craigatin House , Pitlochry.
