If you are an avid adventure sports fan, you should read this.
The craggy landscape of weathered rock is home to a wide range of superb climbing opportunities in Scotland, from short roadside ascents to some of the very best ‘alpine’ routes to be found somewhere in the UK. There’s even the hardest traditional rock climb in the world - ‘Rhapsody’ E11 7a - as climbed by prolific Scottish climber Dave MacLeod!
You could be forgiven for thinking that Scotland was designed with mountain biking in mind. No problem whether you’re interested in exploring our countryside, getting covered in mud, coasting through steep berms, blasting downhill or overcoming a lung-busting climb, there’s anyplace in Scotland that will fit the bill.
With Forestry Commission Scotland pumping resources into centre development, there’s now a actual feast of trails to choose from. The 7stanes project should be singled out for a hearty slap on the back. These dedicated centres are now regarded as some of the best in the UK, if not Europe and the increased provision of green-graded trails makes them suitable for all.
