Cheers, that route on komoot looks perfect. Will check the logistics of getting over to the west coast. May have the option of riding in Perthshire too and see there is a Perthshire gravel website.

Thanks for this. Second half after entering Pentland hills onwards was the highlight. Despite saying I was going 650b I took my 700c tyres. Definitely were sections where 650b would have been better, but I also probably had the tyres too hard for much of the ride. I'll probably do the second half again, possibly counter clockwise then after pentland hills take a different route back into town.

I was cat/flat sitting in Portobello for a while so gave me the chance to do some new stuff (Live in Fife) and this was a highlight. Genuinely very little road riding, very nice gravel and trail sections linked with cycle paths/old railways etc. Lovely stuff.
Naturally you should try get to Aberfoyle. Bit of trek from Edinburgh on public transport, I believe Balloch in the nearest train station.

Some nice photos in that Strava activity link too, to wet the whistle.
