“Rolling Highlands” Route Details (Scotland)
This rolling figure-8 route is rarely flat, but always scenic! It covers the same roads as Loch Loop, but a little extra stretch of tarmac through the Loch near Breakaway Brae.

Route Description

The route begins with a long lead-in from the country paddocks, taking you down along the Cliffs, through the mystical roundabout and up Breakaway Brae to the official start/finish inside the Tower.
(The roundabout looks quite ordinary by day, but visit at night for some eye-popping magic!)
From the tower start line you’ll be making a figure 8 of the countryside roads. Begin by descending the other side of Breakaway Brae, then turning left to take the Loch cutoff road and riding back the way you came on the lead-in.
You’ll continue past the starting paddocks onto “the postcard” section of the loop with its huge vistas, before corkscrewing up through the castle and taking the Loch cutoff once more. Wave hello to Nessie, then hit the Breakaway Brae KOM hard to finish!
