I'm just off the sleeper train from Fort William after an incredible 4 days touring in Scotland. Can't believe how lucky I was with the weather, lack of midges, and beauty of the Highlands.
I've been cycling in the area a few times before, and have friends living in Aberdeen and Glenelg so planned a route to include both of them, return to some favorite roads, and ride some new ones.
This was the route:
One of the many highlights was the road to Glenelg (Bealach Ratagain), which was hideous going up and beautiful coming down in almost equal measure; genuinely the most enjoyable descent I've ever ridden. I was a bit delirious from the heat and hills by that point though...
One gratuitous bike shot, on the north west corner of the Applecross peninsula.
