Scotland - Speyside Whisky Trail

The trip focuses on the mountains in the North-East of the country including the magnificent Trossachs National Park, Royal Deeside, Loch Ness and the famous Speyside Malt Whisky Trail.

Our Company Founder, Peter Thomson, was brought up in Scotland and before taking up road-racing, he’d spend many a holiday cycle-touring around the mountains of Scotland. 40 years later he returns to Scotland to share with you the best of these holiday routes.

The trip starts at the famous Gleneagles Hotel – maybe come in a few days early and enjoy a round of golf on the famous King’s or Queen’s courses. The first couple of days feature some of Peter’s old training rides through the beautiful Dunning Glen and the Trossachs National Park. From Gleneagles you’ll head north into the Highlands and the Grampian mountains, through Royal Deeside where the Royal Family have their summer residence in Balmoral, then finally into Speyside and the Malt Whisky Trail. We’ll organize at least one distillery visit and you’ll sample a few wee drams throughout the course of the week! The trip finishes in the capital of the Highlands, Inverness, with a fantastic ride that takes you along the shores of Loch Ness (keep your eyes open for Nessie!).

To enjoy Scotland at its best you’ll stay in luxury accommodations throughout the trip, including the world-famous 5-star Gleneagles Hotel and the Fife Arms, described by the Financial Times as Scotland’s Hottest Hotel!

Join Peter for this one-off opportunity to ride the mountains of Scotland and the Speyside Malt Whisky Trail.
