Balquhidder Loop, Scottish Highlands

Balquhidder Loop

I filmed this video while I was following the much longer Sustrans National Cycle Route 7 between the villages of Callander and Killin. When you get to the village of Strathyre NCR 7 gives you a choice of routes. The shorter more direct route follows the A84 road but as an alternative, you can take the quiet public road to the tiny village of Balquhidder. The village is most famous for being the alleged final resting place for Rob Roy MacGregor.  The cycle route is quite gentle with no steep inclines and it was all filmed on a gloriously sunny day.

The longer video mentioned above is here. If you do not wish to cycle that far in one session you can break your ride up into smaller rides by following these nine videos of which this video is number 3.

1. Callander to Strathyre
2. Callander to Balquhidder
3. Balquhidder Loop
4. Strathyre to Balquhidder
5. Strathyre to Mhor 84
6. Balquhidder to Lix Tool
7. Balquhidder to Killin
8. Mhor 84 to Lix Toll
9. Mhor 84 to Killin

The route follows a really varied mixture of roads from wide-open public roads to rough forest tracks.  I rode and filmed the route using my road bike but actually, it is more suited to a gravel or mountain bike in places. The videos were all filmed on a glorious sunny day allowing me to show some fantastic Scottish scenery.
