The Scotland road cycling grand tour takes place over 7 days, covering a distance of 40-70km per day. It starts in Inverness and finishes in Edinburgh, passing through St Andrews. The tour is designed for small groups of 2-8 people and emphasizes responsible travel, including minimizing motorized transport and sourcing local food and drink. Accommodation is in handpicked B&Bs, small hotels, Highland inns, and family-run guesthouses, with a focus on providers' Green Tourism credentials. This road cycling holiday, which takes you from Inverness to Edinburgh via St Andrews, starts and finishes at a mainline train station to encourage the use of public transport. Scotland is known for its fantastic natural larder so we try to source all food and drink provided on the trip as much as possible locally, and endeavour to take our clients to establishments that celebrate seasonal Scottish produce, meat and dairy. We’ll often have picnic lunches en route which are the perfect opportunity to try some of the local specialities. We operate our holidays out of a carbon-neutral headquarters which is powered by renewable energy. We reduce, reuse and recycle, using environmentally friendly products from local suppliers where possible. All members of our team live and work in the Scottish Highlands. Because of this, our passionate personnel are able to give expert insider advice on their own favourite playground and ensure the best experience for our visitors. We endeavour to introduce our visitors to local and unique experiences, to channel tourism income back into the local community. As we travel from Inverness to Edinburgh you’ll have the opportunity to visit the Culloden Battlefield where Scottish history was changed forever, and tour Glamis Castle, said to be the most beautiful and haunted castle in Scotland. The highlight of the trip will be a visit to the V&A; in Dundee, a leading museum in design and art. We deliberately keep our groups small for several reasons. Having smaller groups means less disturbance to the environment and the local community. It also means that we can stay at smaller accommodation providers who are not eligible to benefit from mass tourism providers and have a better guide to traveller ratio.
