Highlight • Trail

90% on good track, the first section coming from the North wouldn’t be ideal for a road bike. Lovely ford and bridge over the river, completely traffic free route.

Shieldhill Castle

Highlight • Other

Standing resemblant in six acres of idyllic private gardens on the outskirts of Biggar and only a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh.
