as @mk1mark 's recent post https://www.lfgss.com/comments/13130348/ in the bikepacking thread shows the midges around the Trossachs at this time of year would make it pretty miserable anyway... I'm not sure Arran's much better tbh based on my travels around Skye so make sure you 've a can or two of Smidge!
Another option is to head east, skirting Stirling to Glendevon then to Lomond Hills National park. Fife's got nice rolling roads and beautiful scenery and the more Easterly you are the less of an issue the midges are too...
Or... Head South to Castle Douglas via the Dark Skies park https://scottishdarkskyobservatory.co.uk/about-us/ in Galloway Forest if you're into astronomy...
Awesome - thanks guys!
