Day 1:

The first day is spent making our way towards the Scottish Border. Our hotel is an old 18th century coaching hotel with inviting rooms and safe motorcycle parking.

Arrangements can be made for a meeting point on route if this suits people. At the hotel, there is the opportunity to get to know one another whilst relaxing over a drink in our lovely surroundings, before we have our evening meal.

Day 2:

Following breakfast we ride North and after crossing the border, we head through Dumfries and Galloway, Lanarkshire and up into Strathclyde. Passing Stirling and then Perth, we will then leave the main arterial routes in order to enter the wilds of the Cairngorms mountains. This whole area is breathtakingly beautiful and we ride the stunning roads of the National park, heading North in to the Highlands region and our next hotel. Coffee stops and then lunch are planned along our route as usual.

Day 3:

This morning after breakfast, we continue riding North and cover the remainder of the beautiful Cairngorms National Park. We soon turn inland towards Inverness, before crossing the Kessock road bridge and starting on the NC 500 route. We continue heading North following much of the beautiful and scenic coastal route, on to Wick and then John O groats. Our hotel for the evening is at the most northerly point for an overnight stay.

Day 4:

Leaving our hotel following breakfast and staying on the NC 500, we have beautiful views out over the sea as we head towards Durness. From here we run down to Scourie and Lochinver, located on the wonderful West Coast, providing views out towards the Outer Hebrides. Our hotel for the evening is situated near Ullapool, right alongside Loch Broom, a really wonderful location after a stunning day on the bike.

Day 5:

This morning we head South and then turn West to cover more of the stunning West coast, providing views out to the Isle of Rathsay and the Isle of Skye. We continue down to Kinlochewe and then on to Loch Carron amongst beautiful scenery, before coming inland and heading towards the hotel for the evening and our final night in the Highlands region.

Day 6:

From our hotel we head south through Fort William and then over beautiful and barren Rannoch moor, past mighty Glencoe. We continue down towards Loch Lomand and the Trossachs National park, through beautiful scenery. A coffee stop as usual, is planned along our route, as the first part of our journey will be non motorway. Finally near Glasgow, we will join the motorway to travel back South through the rolling Lanarkshire countryside and our lovely hotel for the final evening of the tour.

During this final night of the tour we can reflect on our experiences over a relaxing drink, before enjoying an evening meal in the restaurant. The magnificent scenery throughout, the wonderful biking roads and the hotels for our overnight stays, will all make this tour of Scotland special for you.

Day 7:

A full cooked breakfast is served on the final morning of our tour before we say our goodbyes and make our way on to the motorway network for the journey home.
