Scotland on a motorcycle

Riding through Scotland means exploring the dramatic Highlands, sweeping glens, mist‑shrouded lochs and rugged coastline. Over 5 days and roughly 1,650 km, we set off from Newcastle and travelled through this remarkable landscape, discovering remote passes and scenic roads at every turn.

The video below presents a full report of the ride, showing the route, scenery and experiences from start to finish. In the sections that follow you’ll find the full route and downloadable GPS tracks.
