Gravel Rides Cairngorms & Perthshire: 15 gravel bike adventures in the heart of Scotland (UK Gravel Rides)

Gravel Rides Cairngorms & Perthshire is your gateway to some of the most stunning gravel riding in Scotland. With 15 hand‑picked routes across the Cairngorms National Park and south into Perthshire and the Angus Glens, this guide has something for every gravel rider — from mellow 14km spins to big 77km days out on wild terrain.

You’ll roll fast on disused railway lines like the Deeside Way and Dava Way, grind your way over the iconic Burma Road mountain pass, and disappear into remote glens such as Little Glen Shee, where you might not see another soul for hours. Every ride has been researched, ridden and written by Bikepacking Scotland’s Markus Stitz, so you know the details are spot‑on.

Inside you’ll find clear Ordnance Survey maps, easy‑to‑follow directions, distance and timing info, difficulty gradings, stunning action photography, local tips, refreshment stops and a packed appendix — plus a link to downloadable GPX files to make navigation a breeze.

Whether you’re a seasoned gravel addict or just getting into off‑road exploring, this guide will help you discover the very best of Scotland’s big‑sky riding.
