In June 2021 I cycled 336 miles around Scotland, from Balloch. I rode along the Loch Lomond shoreline, through the picturesque Glencoe area and on to the Glenfinnan viaduct. From there my route took me along the edges of Loch Lochy and Loch Ness to Inverness. For the return journey I joined National Cycle Network route 7 to Pitlochry before meeting the shoreline of Loch Tay. Part of The Trossachs Trail was traversed before arriving back in to Balloch five days later.
