North East Scotland

North East Scotland is whisky country – plain and simple! Well absolutely but not quite…

Besides the fact that every motorcyclist and every marketing group or organisation will give you his very own whisky trail there is so much more to this region. Join the dots of the many whisky trails (or follow our mega definitive one) or follow the many crystal clear rivers that make up the water of life.

Now throw in the Grampian Mountains, Cairngorms National Park and mountain roads you will encounter some of the gentlest and beautiful routes to ever be ridden by bike. Places renowned for their beauty or features or culture such as Aviemore, Tomintoul, Grantown–on-Spey, Pitlochry and Inverness are all on the routes you will find here.
