Cycle to Classic Highland Distilleries
The route places you within cycling distance of renowned malt distilleries — Edradour and Blair Athol among them — allowing a blend of active riding and whisky pilgrimage in a single day.
Effortless E-Biking Through Scenic Terrain
E-bikes let riders cover the Highland approaches comfortably under the guidance of an experience guide, turning longer distances between hubs and distilleries into an accessible day ride.
A Private Tour for Small Parties
This is organized for your own group — up to three people — so the guide tailors pace and stops to your party while preserving the day’s intimate feel.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
From the Pitlochry hub you set off on electric-assist bikes under the direction of a local guide, moving through Highland scenery toward working malt distilleries. The day is a measured balance of pedaled miles and paced stops: time in the saddle cushioned by the e-bike, a separately booked distillery visit or two, and the ceremonial tasting set to be opened only after the bikes are returned.
