This road cycling tour is grand in every way. With 3,000 feet of climbing on each of the four days, it's certainly a big physical challenge.
The route traverses the full range of iconic Scottish landscapes, from epic mountains and lochs to forests and sweeping sand dunes. The reward at the end of each 'not so gentle' day is well worth the effort, with stays in Scotland’s finest hotels on the luxury holiday and in very lovely inns and small hotels on the classic trip.
With so much to see and do along the way, the option of staying two nights in each hotel comes highly recommended. Play on the world-famous golf courses, sample an award-winning 'wee dram' of whisky at a local distillery, take a flight in a sea plane over the Trossachs’ glens, visit historic castles and unspoilt medieval villages, explore the historic and culturally vibrant city of St. Andrews, or spend the day in tranquillity with a spot of fishing on the lochs. Nothing could be grander!
Not so gentle cycling - 4 days of cycling 53 miles (85 km) per day with 3,000 – 3,500 feet of climbing per day. Road cycling, hills aplenty! Most roads are minor; some short sections on busier roads
