Queen's View

Highlight • Rest Area

Named after Queen Victoria stopped here in 1866 this viewpoint offers incredible views along Loch Tummel and up to Schiehallion.
It's a busy place in the summer but worth a quick stop anyway and there are toilets and a cafe if you need them.

Loch Tummel

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice easy road ride along Loch tummel. Beware of the occasional log trucks though. Make sure to have a high psi on tyres so you glide along the tarmac.

Loch Tummel Scenic Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

The B8019 along the northern shore of Loch Tummel is a nice road to ride. It's wide enough and not too busy with a good surface and amazing views. Check out the Queens viewpoint near the eastern end where Queen Victoria stopped to admire the scenery.
The loch has a road all around it so you can do a full circuit, the southern shore road is smaller and a big rougher but absolutely rideable.

Loch Rannoch

Highlight • Viewpoint

The east side of Rannoch loch. Nice to stop here and take it all in.

Loch Rannoch South Shore

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The south western shore of Loch Rannoch is traced by a gorgeous and well paved road that's pretty quiet too, definitely quieter than the road on the north shore. It's a really spectacular area on a bright summer's day, and you can head to the north shore of Loch Rannoch for some sandy beaches.

B846 Schiehallion Climb from Kenmore

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The B846 runs along the River Tay from Aberfeldy, just north of Kenmore at the head of Loch Tay it turns north and starts climbing. This is the road climb that follows the Keltney Burn and the course of General Wade's military road up to Loch Kinardochy.
You start at 97m in the valley and climb to about 380m over about 6.5km. The road surface is good and it's not particularly busy which makes it a great climb.
Schiehallion at 1083m dominates the skyline to the left as you climb, it's a beautiful mountain to look at.

Port-na-Craig Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

Back door cycle route into/out of Pitlochry to stay off the main road A924 into town. Bonus, it is a nice steel suspension bridge c1913. It replaced a ferry which had operated since the 12th century.

@Michèle Linton seemed well organised this year, as far as I saw.

Komoot crashed in the middle of this ride. Got the gpx file from Jill but it is counting our pee-breaks as rolling time 🤦‍♂️
We rode for 5hrs 20mins. Average speed 15.8mph.
45 mins in feed stations - mostly waiting for me to use a portaloo...

May 11, 2025,Etape Caledonia 85 mile route

Includes approx 5 min delay following a crash. Rider infront of me went off into the grass at the side then over the bars. His bike flew up and hit me and foced the lady next to me into a barbed wire fence. All ok but we had to stop to get everyone back up and running

September 19, 2021,Etape Caledonia #5000milesfordoddie

So a wet start to the morning but not cold and I discarded the waterproof at the start. It was interesting doing the route backwards. The start was a shambles waves all mixed up and slow riders from the 40 route on the right hand side! Once at the five mile mark it was fairly flat and the wider road …
