Scotland, south to north

The Mull of Galloway to John O’Groats cycling holiday

Starting at Scotland’s southernmost tip at the lighthouse at Carrickcarlin Point on the Mull of Galloway, this route heads north for ten spectacular days of riding and ends at John O’Groats on the north coast of Scotland.

The journey takes you to the Isle of Arran, over the Mull of Kintyre, across Loch Lomond (on a ferry!) and follows the trails of the Jacobite outlaw, Rob Roy MacGregor. Venturing into the Trossachs and Highland Perthshire, it continues north, crossing the Moray, Cromarty and Dornoch Firths on the way.

On the final day, the road takes you to the true northerly point on the British mainland, the Dunnet Head Lighthouse, before you ride the last few miles to John O’Groats.
