The best cycling routes in Scotland: Atholl, Perthshire

The best cycling routes in Scotland: Atholl, Perthshire

Atholl, Perthshire Grade: Moderately strenuous mountain biking Distance: 14 miles/23km Time: 2-3 hours

I STARTED at the House of Bruar and immediately followed the old A9 west to where it runs under the newer A9 and continues to Calvine. Just past the old petrol station a Scotways sign indicates the route to the Minigaig. I followed it up to the side of a white house where the track splits. I went right, with a subsequent crossing of the busy A9 but I later discovered that if I had gone left I could have gone below the A9 through a tunnel. Much safer.
