Price From: $7,095 Collection: Classic Day 1: Into the Mountains. Welcome to Scotland! Your guides will meet you at Stirling Train Station for a short, scenic transfer to the riverside town of Callander. After a welcome lunch, we’ll get fitted to our bikes then set out on our first ride through the wild landscapes of Stirlingshire, venturing into the heart of this historic region along the edge of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Our home for the first two nights is a lochside boutique hotel, perfectly positioned amid Scotland's stunning mountain scenery. There will be time to settle in before our private cocktail masterclass featuring a curated selection of sparkling wine, handcrafted spirits and cocktails, and Scotch whisky. Tonight we’ll dine at the hotel’s award-winning restaurant. Day 2: Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Heading south, we’ll transfer to Loch Lomand and the Trossachs National Park, beginning our ride from Loch Katrine. The loch’s name comes from the Gaelic word cateran—meaning “highland robber”—a nod to Scottish folk hero Rob Roy, who was born on its shores. Our scenic route winds past five different lochs, treating us to breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and mountains. Lunch awaits at a remote café, the only one for miles. From there, continue cycling to the charming village of Aberfoyle, pausing for a cold drink or an ice cream before tackling Duke’s Pass. Built in the 19th century by the Duke of Montrose, the climb is a favorite of local cyclists with its lush country scenery and sweeping curves. Return to the hotel with a bit of time to stroll the property’s Highland terrain or perhaps treat your legs to some recovery in the wood-fired sauna on the edge of Loch Voil. This evening we’ll gather for a seasonal feast celebrating the bounty of Scotland’s natural larder, thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines. Day 3: Highland Country: Waterfalls to Viaducts. Begin riding right from the doorstep of Monachyle Mhor, following the tranquil banks of Loch Voil. After a brief stop at the grave of Rob Roy—the namesake we learned about yesterday at Loch Katrine—we continue deeper into Highland country along a spectacular, traffic-free bike path. A gentle climb rewards us with an up-close look at the Glen Ogle Viaduct, an impressive 19th-century feat of engineering now repurposed as one of Scotland’s most beautiful byways. From here, it’s a thrilling descent into the pretty village of Killin, where the Falls of Dochart cascade dramatically through the heart of town. Pause for a photo on the stone bridge then continue along the shores of of Loch Tay. Towering overhead, the peak of Ben Lawers and the surrounding munros (Scottish mountains exceeding 3,000 feet) provide a breathtaking Highland backdrop. After lunch, our ride concludes just outside the town of Aberfeldy. Hop in the van for a short ride to our next hotel, a stylish boutique property in Pitlochry where we’re greeted by a traditional Scottish piper. Relax with an après velo cocktail in the hotel’s inviting bar before a dinner featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Day 4: The Glens of Perthshire and a Wee Bit of Whisky. Today’s ride through the rolling hills of Perthshire is nothing short of spectacular. As we cycle along the northern edge of Loch Tummel, it’s easy to see why the region is known as Big Tree Country—with over 200,000 acres of woodland, it’s home to more champion trees than anywhere else in the United Kingdom. Follow the loch’s shoreline to Queen’s View, one of Highland Perthshire’s most recognizable panoramas. where sweeping vistas stretch across the water to the mountain Schiehallion in the distance. Stop for lunch in Kinloch Rannoch, a peaceful village on the eastern edge of Loch Rannoch, then complete the loop back to Pitlochry, this time tracing Loch Tummel’s stunning southern side. There’s time to explore this picturesque town before a private whisky tasting led by a local expert. The evening is yours to enjoy, dine at the hotel or return to Pitlochry—your guides are happy to recommend their favorite local restaurants. Day 5: Glorious Gleneagles. A short transfer brings us to the picturesque riverside village of Dunkeld, famous for its bustling high street, well-preserved buildings, and magnificent cathedral on the banks of the Tay. We’ll ride out from here along historic military roads, entering the rugged valley of Sma’ Glen. This ancient pass has long served as a vital route through the Highlands, traveled at times by drovers, explorers, and armies. After lunch in the market town of Crieff, begin descending through the gently rolling farmlands of Strathearn, ending right at Gleneagles, the iconic, five-star estate and our home for our final night in Scotland. After settling into your stately room, we’ll reconvene and toast to a wonderful week of cycling, followed by a celebratory dinner. Day 6: Farewell to Bonnie Scotland. After a hearty Scottish breakfast, take one last stroll around the Gleneagles grounds—perhaps a game of croquet or a morning massage are in order. Then it’s off to Stirling Train Station, where you can catch regular trains to both Glasgow and Edinburgh for onward travel. Post-tour: Gleneagles Post-Tour Package. Not ready to depart Gleaneagles? Indulge in an extra night's stay at this stunning Perthshire property, allowing more time to enjoy the spa, appreciate the grounds, or wind down from a week of cycling with some tennis, fly fishing, or hiking.
