Biking in Scotland

In the first week of September 1999, we made the 450-mile trip up to the Highlands for the annual ride around Scotland.

Scotland has some of the best motorcycling roads in the UK: great scenery and good road surfaces, a rarity in the UK. Always remember your waterproofs though!

The best times to go are either side of the July to September school holidays, to avoid the tourists who flock to the area.

We've so far chosen Fort William as a base because it's fairly central within the Highlands, with easy access to most places from Inverness to Glen Coe.

The pages below have pictures taken this year. Perhaps next year I might just try Europe.
