Bikepacking Scotland
Founded by Round the World singlespeed cyclist & bikepacking trail designer Markus Stitz Bikepacking Scotland is your go to resource for all things bikepacking in Scotland.
Straight from the drone, a shot from last week’s ride in Glen Finglas - one of our favourites so far from riding 8 out of 16 routes from the guidebook we are working on for #gravel riding in the Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. ![]()

Let us know, where’s your favourite place in the @lomondtrossachs to ride your gravel bike? And as we include routes in Argyll too, we’d be interested in good routes in @wildaboutargyll too! ![]()

And don’t forget - you can still pre-order our Gravel Rides Cairngorms & Perthshire book ➡️ bikepackingscotland.com/books
While book no. 4 is printing, we started book no. 5 already, as the weather in 🏴 is too good not to take advantage of it. ‘Gravel Rides Loch Lomond & the Trossachs and Argyll’ will be a similar format to our new Cairngorms & Perthshire book - but we’ll add a longer #bikepacking route as bonus. ![]()

As teaser check out the @komoot screen grab - but the Isle of Mull will be included as well. As with previous books, we will make sure most of the routes are accessible by public transport - and will also include bike shops, good cafes & accommodation which welcomes cyclists. ![]()

If this aligns with your ethos & you are interested in sponsoring the book project, please drop us a message. If you simply love riding bikes, the best way to support us is to bike a book from bikepackingscotland.com/books ![]()

And don’t just take our word for it - this is what @mrmarkbeaumont - who grew up in Perthshire - thinks about our new book: ![]()

‘The Cairngorms and Perthshire offer some of the most spectacular landscapes in Scotland, which I got to explore from an early age, being home-schooled on a farm near Blairgowrie. Markus has once again captured this wilderness in stunning pictures for this book. With his fascination in both the geography and history, as well as his passion for cycling, this book isn’t just a guide; it’s an invitation to explore the heart of Scotland by bike — across rolling hills, through ancient forests, and along the iconic gravel tracks that make these regions a paradise for cyclists. Whether you’re an experienced rider or just starting out, this book will inspire your next adventure in one of the most breathtaking corners of the world.’![]()

The book features 15 routes, all ridden & researched by @reizkultur - and we tried our best to get you there by public transport. Enjoy the rides! ![]()
