Covering 25 miles of scenic Highland trails, this tour includes transport from Edinburgh, incredible lochside views and a stop for an authentic Scottish brunch along the way. Key Details Duration: 7 to 7.5 hours (allow 8 to 8.5 hours including pick-up/drop-off) Distance: 25 miles (40 km) Difficulty: Moderate Group size: Minimum 2 people Meeting point: Outside The Caledonian Hotel, 11 Rutland St, EH1 2AB What to Expect Your day begins with a morning departure from Edinburgh in the support van, heading northwest through central Scotland. After a short comfort stop en route, the journey continues into the Trossachs, where the group arrives in the Highland village of Aberfoyle. Bikes are unloaded and from there, your ride begins—heading along forested trails and lochside roads with open views of Loch Ard and Loch Chon as you approach Loch Katrine. The pace is steady, with plenty of time for photo stops and short breaks throughout the ride. Midway through, the group arrives at Stronachlachar Pier on the banks of Loch Katrine, where there’s time for an optional Scottish brunch at the café overlooking the water. After refuelling, the route follows the shoreline of Loch Katrine, winding through woodland with occasional open views across the loch. You’ll pass landmarks such as Walter Scott’s Steamboat and the peaceful stretch toward Trossachs Pier, where the ride ends. While you rest, the guide collects the van and returns to pick up the group for the drive back to Edinburgh. Location This tour takes place entirely within Trossachs National Park—a region known for its wooded glens, clear lochs and wild landscapes, often described as the true "Gateway to the Highlands". The ride starts in Aberfoyle, about a two-hour drive from Edinburgh, and follows a remote 25-mile route through some of the area’s most scenic cycling territory. Expect a blend of quiet tarmac roads and lochside paths, with gentle climbs and long downhill sections. The full-day format allows time to enjoy both the ride and the surroundings, and the return transfer makes it accessible without needing to organise your own transport or navigation in the Highlands. Prerequisites This is a moderate-level ride suited to cyclists with some experience and a reasonable level of fitness. You’ll be riding for several hours, with a mix of terrain including hills and rolling country roads.… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Return transport from Edinburgh Professional guide Helmet (unless bringing your own) Guided 25-mile cycle route Support vehicle and pick-up at the finish ### What’s not included Brunch or refreshments at café stop Personal insurance Transport to the meeting point ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs _No FAQs in catalog._ ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot-2025-07-15-105723.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
