This tour, hosted by the Scottish Cycle Safaris, starts from Perthshire, and goes to Argyll, meaning you will be bicycling from the middle of Scotland to the west. In this tour you will pass by landscapes that vary between luscious tree-line glens and wide open spaces, and pass by The Highlands, a place where standing stones and sacred sites can be found. In between Pertshire and Argyll is the Glen Lyon, an ancient place where Druids and ancient Celts used to reside. From here, you will continue on a quiet road passing by lochs, rivers and mountains and even stop by the oldest tree in Europe, the Fortingall Yew Tree. This will take you towards the end of the tour in Argyl, where you will experience the view of one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
