Cycling in the Hebrides

From island to island through the Hebrides and the islands of the Firth of Clyde by bike is a magical and varied experience. The islands offer a wide range of conditions ranging from the steep hills of Arran and Skye to the windswept bogs of the Western Isles. Coll and Tiree, just above sea level, provide easy walking as long as there is little wind, while visitors to a compact island like Great Cumbrae will find a surprising variety of itineraries in a relatively small area. Geographically the Hebrides range from Islay in the south to Lewis in the north, however Arran and the other islands of the Firth of Clyde have been included to make the offering more varied. As a result this guide includes routes on all the main islands served by ferry ports on the west coast of Scotland. 11 tours and 22 connecting routes, 35 one day itineraries, covering all the iconic locations of the Hebrides, detailing history and wildlife, illustrated with color maps, profiles and photographs.
